Hi!

I have some problems with my system. I'm running OSF/1 V3.0B on DEC AXP
2000/300 and have some problems, questions and so on. I've read a lot of
very good answers here, so I hope, one of you will really help me. Please
contact me on my E-mail because I'm not a member of this group.
Sorry for my english. So here are the questions:

1*) Where can I find the PATCH for my wrong "w" command? I know, it was
discussed here, but I still can't find the right patch for it.

2*) I would like to disable my console for all user, and enable it just for
some privileged users. I've edited the file devassign, but it don't help,
when I'm using X. I've edited file GiveConsole, but it also don't help. So
now I've edited file Xsession, so it runs only when the user is one of the
requested. But it's very very bad way to do this. Do somebody know, how
could I lock accsess to console (Yes, I have the keys, but .... :-))) ).

3*) My lpd alwas writes to console message like:
        "lp0 out of paper"
Printer is turned off and queuing is disabled, so there are no requests to
printer, but it always sais this message. What can I do with this except to
kill the daemon? :-)))

4*) Are there some non-Xterminal ways to change auth files for users? I meen
if I can unlock/lock user other way then using XIsso.

Thanx
