No. I was physically at the machine in xwindows. I ran slrn in a term

mouse in slrn while it was in the term window. If I would try, it would
create an slrn command and you would see it show at the bottom of the
term window, asking if you wanted to do this. Nothing in slrn would
highlight with the mouse while it ran in an slrn term window. Let me see
if I can screencap it for you, hang on a minute...

Yeah, here is a picture for ya.

Man, that gnome screenshot applet is neat-O, see it as the camera icon on
the bar at the top of the bar? It lets you take a screenshot and will
save it right to your public_html directory, ready to publish if you
want. See slrn running in the term window? If I put the mouse anywhere on
that window, I cannot copy or highlight anything with it.

Ah, so, I have no need for that much gui in my way. :)
I lurk in 90+ news groups, and can hit c g n f keys faster than
playing with the mouse.
Gotta have the cut/paste accross terminal windows.

I run slrn in an xterm window

Man I just posted a question about that.

Yea, saw that post.

No reason for you to have write access. 640 with your setup
would work.


How do I make the system not change back the permissions on this file
with Fedora Core 3 if you know?

Nope, Redhat left the linux user community in the lurch awhile back and went
comercial with their linux. After awhile they figured out it was a
mistake to lose all the free testing and bug reporting they received
in excnange for their free release. They did apologize later and
started producing the FCx releases but it was too late.
Lots of people left and went to help other distributions.

As an oh by the way, Lots of security fixes missing on your FC3.
Usuall security rules would recommend only firewall application
runs on the firewall, other servers/users run on another box.

Cracker/criminals read about the exploits, and within days create
bots to hunt down systems the have not installed the update(s).
They are going after the apps behind the firewall.

I did load FC5 just to see it run but have not looked into what
happens in the /etc/cron.* directories.


Will check out the fonts later,

Some of the font names will require you to put quotes around
the names -fn "-font-name-here"
