We have xdm running on HP 9000/375s(HP_UX 7.0, X11R3),
there are two problems with the set up.
1. It does not read users' .Xdefault file instead it uses the
system defaults.
2. xclock is always two hours slower than the system clock
which is kind of annoying.
Anyone have similiar problem?!

Imagine that Cray computer decides to make a personal computer. It has
O O a 150 MHz processor, 200 megabytes of RAM, 1500 megabytes of disk
o storage, a screen resolution of 1024 x 1024 pixels, relies entirely on
___ voice recognition for input, fits in your shirt pocket and costs $300.

Make sure that either the session script (Xsession) or the user's .xsession loads their .Xdefaults into the database. My .xsession has ``xrdb -load .Xdefaults'', just like my .xinitrc had (when I used xinit). >2. xclock is always two hours slower than the system clock >which is kind of annoying. On some systems, login(1) sets a variable to indicate the time zone of the machine. This is called TZ on MIPS boxes. Check the man page for login(1) to see what kind of environment it sets up. There may be more environment setup in the /etc/{cshrc,profile} system-wide startup files. Since xdm doesn't exec login, these environment variables may not be setup properly. I modified Xsession to set the time zone variable TZ and the LOGNAME variable (from $USER). See also the man page on xdm(1) to see what the environment is like when these scripts are run. -- Rich -- ``Read my MIPS -- no new VAXes!!'' -- George Bush after sniffing freon Disclaimer: I speak for myself, except as noted.
