Can anyone tell me how to start xdm on a HP-4xx machine running hpux
7.04? I have set up the configuration files for xdm in
/usr/lib/X11/xdm, and I have tried to start it in /etc/inittab as a
respawn process at run-level 2 with the -nodaemon switch. This does
not work properly, xdm respawns immediately at login and does not
start an actual login process (the DisplayManager*terminateServer flag
set to either FALSE or TRUE does not change this behaviour). My
question is: Should xdm be started in /etc/inittab at all, and how
should it be done? Or should it be started as a daemon in /etc/rc, and
if such is the case, how?

If this is a FAQ, could someone please direct me to an ftp-site where
I can get the FAQ-file? Thanks!
