What were you trying to do?
test xdm stuff
What went wrong?
error (pid 651): can't execute /usr/bin/X11/xrdb
What should have happened?
tigana# where xrdb
/usr/openwin/bin/xrdb
Yo, got any documentation, or other info?
One of the side effects of it being able to load it's
xresources it that the Welcome banner notes that the session is
unsecure. Since fixing the above bug will remove this warning, I
would like to suggest changing the default greeting in
/etc/athena/xdm/Xresources.
My suggestion would be:
tigana# diff {/srvd,}/etc/athena/xdm/Xresources
9c9
< xlogin*greeting: Welcome to Athena
---
> xlogin*greeting: Unencrypted Athena Session
Assuming we are going to provide this mkserv service, this goes about as far
as we can to make sure that the users (as opposed to the sysadmins)
know that the session is not secure.
