    No. I didnt. You never mentioned that you checked all the man pages. If
    you cant find manpage useful, then I dont know what else can.

    You are not trying to learn a software here. You just find clues
    /sidenotes/ references/ keywords (for google search) that help you to
    work your way out. and defintely something USEFUL.

    Nobody said it is. It has its functions and its performing it very well.

    >And what do you mean by "But instead you are choosing urself to force
    >on others."? I really don't understand;

    You can just post your questions and ask for help. Your post 'appeared'
    to 'extort' replies from readers by looking desperate and making
    presumptuous judgements abt the readers. Well, if its really serious
    enough ppl will understand. Like somedays back when a person had lost
    his data on hd while formatting.

    Thats your freedom.

    Obviously, you havent googled enuf, if you had then with 'man Xsecurity'
    and with this following link, you could have figured everything out.

    https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/message-bus-list/2003-February/000093.html

    In fact, I was about to post all these info to you, but you never
    verified that there isnt a NG by the name alt.linux and if you put such
    ngs in a 'Follow-up To:' header, some newsreaders can never followup to
    a post, I posted the article thrice, before figuring out what the
    problem was and losing my patience/motivation in the process and so my
    post ended up with just one line of mans. I usually dont post like that
    unless the post warrants it. So its my fault and I am sorry for that.

    >Sheesh.

    Dont sheesh on ppl without finding where the problem lies.
