- After firing up uugetty, I had a friend dial in
- remotely and see what they could (and couldn't)
- do via remote modem login.
-
- We found that a remote user can start up
- X-windows on the linux system, and the result
- is that the local console indeed runs X nad
- is unusable (and uninterruptable) locally.
-
- Shouldn't there be something where a remote
- user can't start X up on the linux system
- they're dialing into ?
