Hi all,
	I've got X11R4 running on a Sun 3/260.  I can run X from the
command line with 'startx' or 'xinit', but I can't get xdm to work
from /etc/rc.local or the command line.  I ran it several times with
the -debug option, and it runs through the list of things in xdm-config,
then says "WaitForSomething" and just hangs.  I created all the necessary
files (I think) according to the X Window System User's Guide from O'Reilly.
Still no go.  I checked the FAQ, and I don't see anything about this in
it.     

Any ideas?  Please reply via email.  I'll post a summary if there is 
enough interest.  With my luck, it's a FAQ somewhere and I'm going to 
catch some flamage.... 8-)

Thanks in advance,

Scott
