Sorry, I forgot some info in my previous message ... btw, do you know HOW to
copy/paste text from an editor to Netscape's mail composer ?!?

Yes, I cannot log in (neither FTP nor telnet).
The logs show "bind: Address already in use".  (???)

Hm ... when I kill one process, I didn't check whether the others disappear:
I just killed all.

No core file I think. Stops with normal kill, no -s SIGKILL or so.

I never experienced the problem on other NetBSD systems, but this is the
first one on which I use xdm and xlock.
