Folks, Some people from my company are at a customers site and are having much trouble with xdm. Seems all is fine when using any one x-terminal. One can login/logout many times with no problem. But it seems that once another x-terminal is brought up, within about 10-20 login cycles xdm will hang for BOTH of the x-terminals !!! Specifically it seems like xstart is not being run. Scologin seems OK in that it can still detect when an illegal account name/password is detected, but once a legal login is done all is quiet. Messages to disk in startx never get out, seemingly implicating the scologin/startx interface. Also, hitting F1 on a correct login hangs as well. The xdmerrors/xerrors file is empty and with open protection. This is a real head scratcher, it would be great if anybody has heard of problems like this. The environment: OS: sco/odt 3.0 X-terminal: NCD MCX (not the windows based s/w product) Many thanks for any help, Denis denis@std.com +1.508.262.3506
