Is it possible to incorporate a screen saver into Pandora so something more interesting than a black screen is displayed when noone is using a workstation? This is an Indigo. -- Bill Nyden | I do not officially represent anyone ( nyden@orca.ssd.loral.com ) | other than myself on this network... SSI DiveCon 0006DC | ...and sometimes not even me.

Yes, you need to edit /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xlogin (or change the
resources so something other than Xlogin is run), and just
before the part where pandora is started, start your favorite
screensaver, with stdin, stdout, and stderr redirected to /dev/null,
like:
(/usr/bin/X11/xlock ... < /dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1 &)
Changes to that file aren't preserved on new software upgrades/installs,
as I recall, so make a copy of the changes somewhere.
