I have setup the xdm stuff and it seems to work fine after some tunning
to make it suit our site.
The problem I have noticed is that xdm is slow to bring up the login
widget after a user has logged out. Looking at the process on the
worksation I see the following.
736 ? IW 0:03 /usr/local/bin/X11/xnewsdm -config /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/x
787 ? S < 0:19 /usr/openwin/bin/xnews :0.0 -auth /tmp/.Xauthority
825 ? S 0:00 /usr/local/bin/X11/xnewsdm -config /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/x
followed about a minute or two later by
736 ? IW 0:03 /usr/local/bin/X11/xnewsdm -config /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/x
828 ? IW< 0:07 /usr/openwin/bin/xnews :0.0 -auth /tmp/.Xauthority
831 ? IW 0:00 -:0.0 (xnewsdm)
The first is just after the user has logged out and the second just
after the login widget appears.
Should the xnews server die after receiving the HUP signal?
Should xdm be trying to start another server?
The following errors appear in /tmp/xdm-errors,
XNeWS Network security violation

error (pid 890): server open failed for :0.0, giving up
The 890 refers to the xnews server which ran during the users session.
The 890 does not match the ps's above.
I also want the following X11 commands to be in effect when xdm is
displaying the login widget,
xsetroot -solid #d3d0d2
to set the colour of the workspace and
xset s 600 60 s noblank
to run screen saving while a workstation is in use.
Does anyone know how to do this?
