- I have four questions regarding DXsession. I have rtfm'd to no avail.
- If these are naive questions, well, I've only been working with Ultrix
- a few months.
-
- 1. I have some users who should only be permitted to run a particular
- program. Normally I would replace the shell program in /etc/passwd
- with the permitted program. Unfortunately, after logging in through
- the dxprompter, "something" apparently happens (no error or warning
- message) and I am immediately returned to the login prompter. If I su
- to the user from another account, everything works as planned, but
- obviously that's not going to work.
-
- 2. With every other workstation I've ever used, I could kill the
- Xserver and work at a naked tty interface if I wanted to. So far I
- have found no way, either in the manuals or through random keystrokes,
- of doing this under Ultrix.
-
- 3. Can I run X on Ultrix without dxsession? I find the whole thing
- annoying.
-
- 4. Can anyone point me to a usable replacement for dxdb?
