[K12OSN] X locking up a server.

[Doug Simpson]

It appears that this worked, however, when exiting a client logged in 
using vncviewer, it does the same thing as it did while running X on the 
console.

It locked up the server, but it wasn't a complete hard-lock. I have to
manually kill the processes to get it to let go.

There may just be some ghoulies on this thing and I may just have to do 
another install on it to get it working right. . .

This is a live server and I don;t have time to work out problems with 
upgrading to a newer K12LTSP so I really need to stick with FC3 for now on 
it.

If I update to a later version of K12LTSP, what impact will that have with 
my samba (primary functions of this server, K12LTSP is a sideline on it). 
In the past, I have jut copied my config files and account-related files 
and it was just a bit of tweaking to do then everything works.  If I go to 
a new version of K12LTSP, will my current samba configs work with it?

Thanks!
