- We have a 4.1.1 DNS server here and at another site a 4.1.2 DNS server and
- 4.1.1, 4.1.2 & 4.1.3 clients and they all work fine with YP and DNS.

- Try the /etc/fbtab file and some stuff in the XDM setup file which runs as
- root as the user is logging in (usually):
- /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xstartup in X11R4 and
- /usr/lib/X11/xdm/TakeConsole in X11R5
-
- #!/bin/sh
- # Reassign ownership of the console to root, this should disallow
- # assignment of console output to any random users's xterm
- #
- chmod 622 /dev/console
- chown root /dev/console
-
- # Implement /etc/fbtab stuff normally done by getty(?)
- sed 's/#.*$//' /etc/fbtab | awk 'NF == 3 && $1 == "/dev/console" {
- print "chown -f root.wheel", $3;
- }' | sed 's/:/ /g' | sh
