Hi,
To accomodate rlogins from RS/6000s on which TERM = aixterm
(not xterm), I propose that in /usr/athena/lib/init/login the line
if (("$term" =~ xterm*) && (! $?DISPLAY)) then
be changed to
if (("$term" =~ *xterm*) && (! $?DISPLAY)) then
This will prompt the user for a DISPLAY when logging in from an
RS/6000. At present, $initdir/login just assumes that no X display
is available.
