  14. In a recent post, I responded to someone having problems
  15. with xdm to put the following lines in /etc/rc.local,
  16. before the xdm lines.
  17.  
  18.     OPENWINHOME=${OPENWINHOME:-/usr/openwin}
  19.     LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${OPENWINHOME}/lib
  20.  
  21. These should of course be followed by:
  22.  
  23.     export OPENWINHOME LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  24.  
  25. There seems to be a bit of interest in running xdm (I
  26. would recommend it myself - we ran xdm even before getting
  27. X terminals).  Is there interest in me posting a summary
  28. of what is required?  Or is this info posted elsewhere?
  29. (comp.windows.x FAQ?)

  36. PS. billg@uu.psi.com, my reply to you couldn't make it
  37. out of my system, will try from another machine.
