NCD.

     I am having difficulty getting xdm on a Personal Iris to work with
a NCD X terminal.  Has anybody else experienced this problem?  We are
running IRIX 3.3.1 on the iris.  The difficulty occurs with both the
xdm provided by SGI and the xdm compiled from X11R4 patch 18.
     The NCD X terminal works fine with xdm from other hosts.  When I
turn on xdm debug on the Iris (/usr/bin/X11/xdm -debug 3), it seems to
stop after printing the line "creating socket 177" and never gets
to the line "WaitForSomething".

Thanks in advance.

I posted a set of patches for the X11R4 distribution of xdm to comp.sys.sgi;
I unfortunately didn't archive them (oops :-)

Could someone either mail my patches to this person and/or post them here?

The patches basically boil down to

	replace all #ifndef SYSV with #if !defined(SYSV) && !defined(sgi)

and

	compile with -D_BSD_SIGNALS
