[comp.sys.sun] Xlogin on Openwindows?

nuggeha@cs.wisc.edu (Srikanth Nuggehalli) (04/18/91)

Has any of you successfully had Xlogin working with Openwindows 2.0??  I
am trying to have a LOGIN WINDOW on the console that would automatically
startup Openwindows upon login.  Specifically, I have been trying to do
this using xdm from X11R4.  No luck so far.

Any help/pointers will be greatly appreciated.  Please e-mail replies.

Thanks much,
Sri Nuggehalli

      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Well, I got xdm working with Openwindows. What follows my .sig is a
tarred, compressed, and uuencoded version of my scripts, etc, that xdm
uses to make this work. xnewsdm is a hard link to xdm - it's so I can have
one running vanilla X and the other running XNeWS and send SIGHUPS to the
appropriate one to restart it's server.

I posted this to alt.sys.sun a while back, but I realise a fair number of
people dont get the alt.* groups. Sorry for the delay in posting here :-(

There were detailed instructions on how to set up xdm with OpenWindows
about two months ago in some comp.windows.* newsgroup. I have been using
it since and it's a nice thing. If you want, I can email you the
configuration files.

Gtgs,
