As of today: - Both syspatches applied - My /etc/rc.conf.local contains Code:
xenodm_flags="" Code:
exec startxfce4 ... and XFCE launches for both regular users. None of the X error messages showed up that other people have been reporting after syspatch 2 (which Theo has said in the mailing lists not to worry about.) hitest, thanks for the tip on getting rid of xconsole. Not a big deal for me, but it is distracting and I haven't yet seen it display any useful info, which if there were, I expect will be in a log. TKS |

Code:
/usr/local/bin I would like at some point to figure out why I can't get XFCE to launch automatically for root, but since the setup works for me - XFCE for users, and fvwm for root - I will leave it for now (or maybe even until I install 6.5) and move on to things that are higher priority for me ex. setting up printer/scanners. Thanks for the help getting me this far. TKS |

The xfce pkg-readme has specific instructions on user shutdown/reboot which may help sort out the problem. At least it will let you know what the pkg maintainer intended.

Now I can shut down directly from Xfce, per hitest's instructions and link provided by shep. Thank you, both.
Installed consolekit2 and polkit http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cv...ype=text/plain To /etc/rc.conf.local, added Code:
pkg_scripts="messagebus" Code:
exec ck-launch-session startxfce4 |

I was running 6.3 on a Lenovo N580 which worked great using Mate. Upgraded to 6.4 and no more working X. Tried the suggestions in this thread and nothing worked.
Code:
xenodm_flags="" Being told to run xenodm is unacceptable as a solution. |

You are aware that xenodm is actually part of the priviledge separation model in OpenBSD? With xenodm the X server runs as the _x11 user and not the user account. This is not the case with startx.

How ever, also I am not using any DE's, just a window manager, but don't see how that would make any difference. Any way, I was under the impression , having to use xendom was a temporary option, but now with the 2nd syspatch, it is not required, one can still safely use startx ? That is to say, the 1st patch fixed the xorg security issue, but it was at that point ,when people ran the patch they found they could not use startx anymore, and needed to make some configuration changes to start using xendom. So I decided to hold off for a little while and not upgrade.Later, I read about the 2nd patch, https://www.openbsd.org/errata64.html Quote:
I was impressed as to how quickly both patches were done, after I read about the 2nd one, I went ahead and upgraded.

GarryR, the 002 patch is for syspatch(8). (I have used xenodm(1) for years, so no idea if startx works or not.) |

Now I am some what confused, and maybe it would be a different topic, But any way, Is it ok to be using startx, or no ? Are there still security issues with that, if we use startx to start the Window Manager ?

When I boot , I do not start any display managers, WM, etc, I just log in to the console, sometimes, like now if and when I want to use a browser or anything that requires a display manager, I simply type 'startx', and open the xwindows, then I have FVWM as my wm, from there, if I want I may or may not use openbox,... thanks
