What's this stuff about a "typical /etc/ttys line" in X(8c)? A typical line in /etc/ttys might be: ttyv0 "/etc/xterm -L =-1+1 :0" xterm on secure window="/etc/Xvs100 0 -c -l" No unix system I've seen yet had an /etc/ttys like that! Is this a local hack? Ultrix? Undocumented BSD? (From the Xvs100, my guess is Ultrix) xoxorich. ---------- Prolonged input from wiped tape can produce hypnagogic hallucination.

Undocumented BSD? (From the Xvs100, my guess is Ultrix uses this format. I got the impression from the Ultrix documentation that this was in 4.3bsd, based on the discussion of "secure" ttys (i.e., ttys on which the system will allow root to login), but I could well be mistaken.

(From the Xvs100, my guess is >Ultrix) This is documented 4.3BSD and later versions of Ultrix. -- David Elliott dce@mips.com or {ames,decwrl,prls}!mips!dce
