In compiling xlogin, I noticed the following:
(src/athena/etc/xdm/xlogin/verify.c)
#ifdef _IBMR@
#define NGROUPS 16
#endif
This means that if NGROUPS is greater than 16 on the RS/6000 - you may
start having NFS access to some servers if in too many groups. In
particular, I think trying to access a DECstation server you may lose.
I suggest that someone should verify this.....
(Actually according to the RCS history - I think the intended effect was
fubbed...)
Sounds like you need another xlogin for the RS/6000's...
