The dialup init scripts have a slight bug under tsch, which prevents
the "Which display are you using?" prompt from appearing. A patch for
/usr/athena/lib/init/login follows:
--- /usr/athena/lib/init/login Thu Feb 9 14:54:36 2006
+++ local_login Mon May 1 11:54:20 2006

# been set, ask the user what the DISPLAY should be (e.g., rlogin)
if ((`/etc/athena/dialuptype` == "X" ) || (`/etc/athena/dialuptype` == "test")) then
- if (("$term" =~ xterm*) && (! $?DISPLAY) &&) then
+ if (("$term" =~ xterm*) && (! $?DISPLAY)) then
echo -n "What DISPLAY are you using [default: none]? "
set response = ($<)
if ("$response" != "") then
However, I would like to echo Yoyo's statements in
http://diswww.mit.edu/menelaus/suggest/4458 that the prompt itself is
really just silly.
