| | UNIX man pages : xdm (1) |
 | | Because xdm provides the first interface that users will see, it is designed to be simple to use and easy to cus- tomize to the needs of a particular site. | | | Xdm also uses file locking on this file to attempt to eliminate multiple daemons running on the same machine, which would cause quite a bit of havoc. | | | Because xdm can't allocate additional space for this task, it is useful to start xdm with a reasonably long command line (using the full path name should be enough). |

| | Taming The X Display Manager |
| | If xdm is run on a workstation console display, that display must run X. xdm does not work well in environments where multiple graphics systems attempt to share a display. | | | The xdm database (other than the authority files) is comprised of flat files. | | | As most vendors have merged X with their other graphics packages, this is not nearly the problem it formerly was. |

| | XDM Setup |
| | In the xdm environment, the window system is started before any environment is created and the first environment is in the xterm or shelltool or cmdtool that is started under the X server. | | | If you want to alter how xdm looks or functions, all of the files that you need to edit are in /usr/openwin/lib/xdm. | | | The files in the /usr/openwin/lib/xdm directory are different on Solaris 2.3 as compared to 2.4 but still work. |

| | These devices are basically a display, keyboard and mouse with embedded X server software; all intelligence is located on a server in the network. | | | One of the initial reasons xdm was created was to allow for management of X terminals. | | | The solution I chose for this project was the X display manager, or xdm, although another popular solution is vnc. |

| | into the wibble [xdm-choose] |
| | This program is a highly configurable replacement chooser for XDM, which allows the user to type in a hostname and query/connect to it. | | | On most Linux installations, XDM is responsible for starting the X server which it then manages (producing the XDM username/password login screen). | | | To be used with xdm-choose, the X server must be started unmanaged (and told to perform an indirect XDMCP query to get the chooser -- xdm-choose if configured right!). |

| | Converting old PCs into standalone X11 Terminals |
| | The next step is to modify the X terminal to connect to the XDM server using an 'indirect' query. | | | Configuring each PC to start up X and query an XDM server to get a list of hosts to connect to. | | | With relatively little work, and very little subsequent administration (the X terminals seldom crash, and don't need software updates), we converted a bunch of "junker" PCs into rather useful X terminals (I've even done a 386 this way and it runs fine). |
