Two Qustions: .ICEauthority and daemons

[ViolentGreen 0]

I have two questions. The first is more of an annoyance. Something is changing the ownership and permissions of my .ICEauthority file to root. This prevents me from logging into an X session.

 

The second question is where do I specify what daemons run at startup?

 

Thanks

I don't know what distro you are using, but I have the same problem with .ICEauthority in RH 9 which won't allow me to use Konqueror as root from my user login. I never cound find an answer, so I just use Nautilus as root when I need to visualize.

On the daemons, I suppose you mean the services that automatically start when you boot up. In RH I get there by KDE/System Settings/ Server Settings/ Services. In Mdk, you will find "Services" somewhere in the Mandrake Control Center.
