Hi. Has anyone out there gotten xdm to run on the AIX 2.2.1 X-Window server?
While running xdm in debug mode, I get the following output:

Server Started 3882
Wait for Server delay:5 repeat 5
Cannot open /dev/tty to query device id
Wait for Server delay:5 repeat 5
Before XOpenDisplay(:0)
After XOpenDisplay(:0)
Waiting for server to start

...and then the last 3 lines appear in an infinite loop.  Is this a SYSV 
problem?  Or maybe a distributed services problem? Everything works fine
when I use xinit....

Thanks in advance,
