Message-ID: <5092@emory.mathcs.emory.edu> Date: 4 Mar 90 21:11:48 GMT Organization: Math & Computer Science, Emory University, Atlanta, GA Lines: 12 Is it possible to setup xdm on a workstation, so that a a user can ask for a native login shell on the display (probably the console) with out X? More explicitly, I want the X server to die, have the users login shell run on the tty (presumably /dev/console), with xdm going back to nomral when the login shell exits. -- Ken Mandelberg | km@mathcs.emory.edu PREFERRED Emory University | {decvax,gatech}!emory!km UUCP Dept of Math and CS | km@emory.bitnet NON-DOMAIN BITNET Atlanta, GA 30322 | Phone: (404) 727-7963
