- Would some kind soul please explain to me how to get xdm to work on AIX 3.2,
- X11R4? The documentation is sketchy, and the support center doesn't do
- X windows, apparently. My local SE does them even less :).
-
- Basically, I've got the daemon running, and all of the config files are in
- /usr/lib/X11/xdm. I have no entries in my Xservers file, as the system in
- question is a fileserver, and our Xterm 130's do XDMCP. From my
- understanding of the manpage, I don't need any entries with this
- configuration.
-
- I get a login window, and the login authentication works fine. However,
- after a successful login, there is a pause, a blink, and the login
- screen is presented again. This can be repeated any number of times.
-
- My config files are very plain-vanilla. Rebooting the @#$%@% Xterm every
- time I log out is getting very old indeed; I'd like to get xdm working.
