just put a "." in user's /etc/password entry where you want to user to stick. I'm

Crisis averted.
when i went to recompile gtk, I deleted old references to old copies that i had tried
and failed to compile before. I accidentally deleted a library file that
/usr/bin/gnome-session wanted. When i ran just that at the command line, it complained
about a missing libgtk-1.2.so.0
erm, I recompiled glib and gtk, and after I deleted some gtk files my ability to get a
gnome session went away. finally got the stupid thing to compile, and still, no dice!
Um, i'm clueless here. nothing in /var/log/messages, grepping through for any
suspicious errors now...

I don't think this is the case. I just tried it with 8 and all I did was edit the
file, didn't even restart any daemons. I don't have a 7 box to play with, but I'm
pretty sure it's the same. in fac

Try putting gcc before cc in the path of the user that's doing the compiling
(presumably root). That has worked for me. Also, I've hit lots of
situations where a compile finally uses gcc and keeps complaining. Adding
/usr/ccs2/bin and /usr/ucb clears up a lot of issues.

You're not copying from an NFS mount, are you? a few days ago I tried to do something

We finally decided it was an NFS thang, since it runs as nobody.
