- Lines: 15
-
- I have trouble with xdm under SunOS4.1.*/OpenWindows3.0
- Some programs (like printtool, xvnews and MIT-xlock) get their uid via
- cuserid. cuid checks its tty and gets the user from /etc/utmp. Therefore
- these programs believe to be owned by xdm when being started from the
- olwm menu.
- Is there any program/patch to correct the entry in /etc/utmp?
-
- Thanks in advance
