guys,
the below problem is still giving me a headache. xdm takes 60 seconds
before it looks at Xsession and .xsession, and this is due to

found the problem and am now questioning the sanity of the world.
so i started portmap to see if it fixed it. no, it did not. but the
requests were for port 111, so portmap had to be involved. then i

was running... and wham - pro

when i log in through xdm, i am presented with a precisely 60 second
long delay before the first line of my .xsession is executed. in fact,
using root privileges to modify the xdm files, i found out that
/etc/X11/xdm/Xstartup_0 (which calls /etc/X11/xdm/Xstartup) is
executed and finishes, but
11 matches
