i use xdm -nodaemon from inittab (respawn), rather than xdm (mostly because i like knowing it will always be restarted if xdm bails). first off, is that excessive? secondly, xdm has recently been acting up a bit (well, it could be entirely X itself...). basically, on logout, X exits and xdm restarts, but i have seen the box lockup (can't escape to the virtual terminals) when X restarts on logout. it certainly doesn't happen all the time, but it can't be down, as it NFS-hosts user directories.
i am running 2.4.9/woody with XFree86 4.1.0 (whatever is current in woody). has anyone experienced this before? does anyone think that it might be related to xdm running from inittab vs as a daemon? -c [ Structural Informatics Group ] [ Dept. of Biological Structure ] [ University of Washington ] [ 206.616.7356:office ] [ 206.795.4998:cell ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
