I have problem with xdm running from /etc/ttys.

Ultrix 3.0, X11R4, fix 5.

If I start xdm manually everything works fine, but when it runs
from ttys it refuse to read Xresources.

xdm-errors:
XIO:  fatal IO error 9 (Bad file number) on X server ":0.0"
      after 5 requests (2 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

There are no errors if I remove the file 'Xresources'.

Anyone know what this mean? (Yes, I have checked all environmentvariables
and paths )

xdm starts a login with the default sign "Welcome to the X windows system".
It is also possible to log in. The only malfunction is that the resources
are never read.

My Xresources: (I've tried with the distributed original also)
xlogin*login.translations: #override\
	<Key>F1: set-session-argument(failsafe) finish-field()\n\
	<Key>Return: set-session-argument() finish-field()
xlogin*borderWidth: 3
xlogin*Foreground: black
xlogin*Background: white
xlogin*greeting: HOST
xlogin*unsecureGreeting: Unsecure HOST

Nothing peculiar there. It seems like some open error, but I can't find
the error.
