Oh, I have a clue ... I noticed that the user wasn't included in |
15 |
/etc/group. But he was before ... |

I updated this system by binary update, and I guess the default is |
18 |
|--include-config.| |

|

|From now on, I'll use |||--include-unmodified-config.|| |

||But adding the user, in both host and client /etc/group files, and |
23 |
restarting X, didn't solve the problem, so there's likely some other old |
