[comp.windows.x] XDM, NIS

jc@raven.bu.edu (James Cameron) (04/04/91)

Running:  SunOS 4.1.1 with NIS on SparcStation 2's as dataless clients

Problem:  Can't seem to get xdm(1) started.  Dumps core and leaves errors messages of:

          Fatal server bug!
          no screens found
          XIO:  fatal IO error 54 (Connection reset by peer) on X server "(null)"
                after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
          XIO:  fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) on X server "(null)"
                after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
                The connection was probably broken by a server shutdown or KillClient.
          error (pid 933): Server for display unix:0.0 terminated unexpectedly
          error (pid 1307): server open failed for condor:0.0, giving up

Comments: I know it is probably a simple correction in the Xservers file, but I cannot
	  get it to work.  I have read xdm(1) and Xsun(1) but they haven't helped that much.

Any help would be appreciated!
