Yep, you're right, it does (at least 8.2 does) come with gkrellm, although I found this advisory here

<some patch file here>
Security Update!
Security update: This update package fixes a buffer overflow in gkrellmd, the server
component of the gkrellm package. The vulnerability may allow an attacker
to run arbitrary commands as the user running the daemon.

So it might be worth getting the latest version anyways (this is all assuming the OP is running SUSE :smiley: )

Thanks norsk hedensk & zazzybob.

I've had a look on the SUSE site and found the information on the package.

Cheers
:smiley:

the suse default packages are never current anyway.

but thats no problem, compile from source!

bah.. another theme on GNOME, this one is an OSX theme.. enjoy

I'd wager that there is a gkrellm RPM for SUSE on Packman.

I'm usualy using BlackBox, but all my time I spent in tty...
