xdm doesn't let me in with root but I am in with other account

Hi,

        I would like to know why in run level 4 xdm does not let me in.  It
accepts the root login but the login screen keeps on coming back after few
seconds.  Although with other accounts I can get in.  Is this a bug or I
missed something.
        I am running Xfree3.2 on 1.2.13 Kernel.
        Thank you very much.

Your .xsession file either exists but is non-executable, or is executable but
runs to completion.  For the first, do "chmod +w ~/.xsession".  For the second,
make sure that .xsession does not terminate till you exit the window manager -
look at your .xinitrc file to see how.  Having "exec fvwm" (or whatever your
window manager is) as the last line of your script should do it.

1. IP Accounting doesn't work for PPP dial-ins :-(( ??

I've got a 2.0.0 kernel with IP accounting enabled and successfully
installed some rules with

# ipfwadm -A -i -S other.system.in.domain -D other.system.in.domain

If other.system.in.domain is within the same subnet as my linux box itself
everything's fine. However - I need that accounting for my PPP dial-ins
and there I run into the effect that

# ipfwadm -A -l

always gives me a 0 traffic indication :-(

I'm not sure, but the reason might be that my PPP dial-ins are not within
the same subnet as  the linux system and that their routing's beeing
enabled by DIP right after the connection's been established.

Does someone have an idea what I could do to get that traffic counted ??

Thanks.
