[comp.windows.x] Using xdm with A/UX - Beginner quesiton

mike@shogun.us.cc.umich.edu (01/06/90)

I have recently installed X Windows on my A/UX system.  I explored a bit
and then found xdm.  I would like to be able to run xdm automatically
so I can keep X running all the time.  I also like xdm's login screen.

I'm not very experienced with System V Unix and I having trouble getting
xdm to run automatically when the system goes to init level 2 (multiuser
mode).  I tried to put an entry in /etc/inittab of:

xdm:23:once:/usr/bin/X11/xdm

but I ran into trouble.  Any help you give me to put in the correct entry
here in /etc/inittab or elsewhere would be appreciated.  Please send email
if possible.

Here's what we have:

xdm:2:once:/usr/bin/X11/xdm -nodaemon < /dev/null > /usr/lib/X11/xdm/output 2>&1
