the x-server does not use the tty, it uses the vc. when the server is

i'll build this into kdm's query interface, but behind the scenes kdm
has no other choice than to a) do the same or b) enforce a vc with vtX
on the server command line.

this scipt will fail if an already terminated server used the same
display as another currently running one. you should only check the logs
of currently running displays, i.e., loop on the display entries from
`who`.

it may be related to the Authorize setting in the [X-:*-Core]

since i don't like the above solution, i have this script in my

if test -n "$whose" -a "${whose%% *}" != root; then

as long, as these systems are in one nis-/nfs-domain, there should be no
problem. for random hosts, you need something like that:
delphi$ xauth nextract - delphi:0.0 | rsh is2101 /usr/X11R5/bin/xauth nmerge -
delphi$ rsh is2101
is2101$ xterm -display delphi:0.0
you could automate this by extending your xon script.
btw, the simplest solution for transporting xauth data is to use ssh with
X forwarding enabled ...

Re: kdm wont start cause of this:
