My Xterm on iMac G3 starts up and dies with the following message:

displayed in the Console log. I cannot seem to figure out what the exact command to do this is. I know it uses "chown" or I think so, but I don't know how to indicate the owner change is to root.


	Help appreciated, assuming I have identified the problem.
