I bet this question has been asked a sagan (billions upon billions) of
times; please forgive me if it has.

Our site has a couple of NCD X terminals serving off a Sun 3/260. We seem
to have noticed that one of the NCD's has a distressing habit of
blowing up (literally) when left turned on for longish periods. What I
was after was a way of configuring xdm to detect that a particular display
is now available and to start an authentification widget on it (ie at 
the X Terminal's boot time)

Surely this can be done (just as surely as I don't have a clue how to
do it) and surely someone has done it. I even seem to vaguely remember
seeing something along those lines somewhere. If anyone out there knows
if this is possible, PLEASE help me!!

regards...
                                           Chris.
