I tried that, and all the other settings (standby, offtime, etc) singly and in pairs. Nothing worked. Any other suggestions? Did you reboot the clients after you made the changes to lts.conf? I'm using 4.2.1EL -- Robert Arkiletian C++ GUI tutorial <A HREF="http://fltk.org/links.php?V19">http://fltk.org/links.php?V19</A> Yeah, I rebooted everything, even the server (due to unrelated maintenance). Now one client sleeps and the other doesn't. The one that sleeps gets logged into with Gnome and it's an NEC monitor. The other runs KDE and is a Dell monitor. I really have no idea what effects this behavior though. </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> I've see that one before. I have a 21-inch HP P1110 CRT monitor that won't go to sleep, but the screen saver turns on just fine. However, my Sharp 19-inch LCD monitor goes to sleep flawlessly. I also have an Optiquest 19-inch CRT that goes to sleep as it should, but that has another issue specific to X11 and start-up (there's a delay of 2-3 minutes before X11 starts, depending on the X11 version). Note that it has nothing to do with whether you're running KDE or GNOME. I see the above behaviour regardless of which desktop I'm running. --TP </BODY> </HTML>
