Hello,

	I have a MIT copy of X11R4 running on my HPUX 7.0 9000s300 370,
but the source was compiled on a HPUX 6.5.  I don't know if that's 
important, but at any rate, something;s wrong:

	If I do not use xdm, then _after_ the _second_ time I login
and run X via xinit, thereafter, no one can log in through the console
or the serial port (which has a getty connected to it with a NIU port).
However, telnet and rlogin do work, but sometimes they don't.   Here's
what happens in the case that X has been run twice, and a person tries
to log in on the console (xdm not running):

Console login: user
Password: 
utmp entry missing.  Must run login from lowest level of 'sh.'


Console login:

and this happens for all users including root.  

	In the case that xdm is running, then people can always log in,
but, while ther is a person logged into the console, and a copy
of xterm is running, then no one can rlogin, telnet, or login
through the serial port.  After the person on the console logs out,
then people can rlogin, or telnet, or connect through the serial port.

	People from HP have told me that the problem does not come from
the HPUX 6.5 / HPUX 7.0 incompatibility.  Whatever.  After a while, I
got the X server from hpcvaaz ~ftp/pub/XServers/X.7.03.300.Z and
the problem persists.

	What's wrong here?  How do I fix it?  If the problem is
from 6.5 / 7.0 incompatibility, then can someone offer a set of
R4 binaries to me?  I have too little disk space to compile it myself,
so I can't do it.  The person who sent me the R4 binaries compiled on
a HPUX 6.5 tar'ed the files, compressed them, and sent them via
anonymous ftp to penguin.

	Thanks in advance,
	Mike Gourlay

	or maybe mike@penguin.cc.gatech.edu
