Re: sshd and X
Thanks ago,
I can't seem to change the settings in the config files.
I am logged on to the machine a me/domain
The user I am logged on as is in the W2K machine's Administrators
group.
But the config file is owned by SYSTEM and I can't seem to edit it.
What's the best course of action?
Thanks
