(!) Liam Greenwood: Your XDM question

From Liam Greenwood on Fri, 25 Dec 1998

Here's a suggestion that I'll just pass along.

(!) To run XDM and not run have XDM start an Xserver on your local host:


telinit 3  # go to runlevel 3 (no xdm)

edit the file /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers and comment out the line which looks like this:


:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X

...by putting a # at the start.


telinit 5   # go to runlevel 5 to start xdm

(on a Red hat system... others may have the config file in another place).

Cheers, Liam
