I installed Xkernel on 3 sun 3/50 and modified it to work on
9 sun  2/50-120. These 12 machines are served by a sun 3/470 machine
which runs xdm (r4) to allow users opening sessions on those
Xterminals. xdm is started in daemon mode passing to it the list of
displays to manage.

I tried to use the "query" option for just the sun3s but this seems
causing initially flashing of login windows on these machines then the
dead of the xdm main process. I repeated the test a few times and the
xdm main process dead every time.

What's the problem?




PS: eventually the work around may consist in making a RPC for
restarting (kill -HUP) xdm (as I did).
