little background color to my own xdm. Everyone here is pretty happy
with the result.

I've done the same thing (using Motif), but added a confirmation check..
I've found that when I move the mouse or press a mousebutton when the
screen is in powersaving can have very disconcerting effects with a
reset-button out there..
I did something similar for my ancient Slackware 1.2 box.
My solution was a trivial Xt button called XShutdown. It includes a
confirmation stage, and calls shutdown itself (sorting out a console
for it's output while it's at it).
It should be check it works with ELF, latest X libraries, the current
sysvinit, but I don't anticipate any probplems.

Hi. Brian Mays wrote : This will pop up two buttons in the lower left corner of your screen. The Halt button will shut down your system, while the Reboot button will reboot (useful if you also have Windows 95 *yuck* on your computer). So, going back to the initial message about a cool XDM login screen for Debian, we could provide, nearly without effort, it. We just need a jpg file to put in background using display from imagemagick, perhaps more, following screen size; a little tcl/tk script to show restart/halt buttons; and that's all. So, I'm waiting your ideas about the jpg file (I think about something like the top of the debian web page + some cool stuff made with the gimp), and I will try to mix them and make a great login screen. Scripts are also welcome since my knowledge of tcl/tk isn't high. -- Frederic Peters [EMAIL PROTECTED] Two major products from Berkeley : LSD and Unix.

Right now there isn't a simple way of bringing the machine down---as
far as i know. Even ctrl-alt-del doesn't work in XFree86.
Of course, care should be taken that this can be done only from the
console---if necessary, only after typing a shutdown password.
There is an easy way to get this button on your screen, assuming that you
have the TCL/TK packages installed.
Add the following seven lines to /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0:
/usr/bin/wish EOF
wm geometry . +0-0
button .halt -text Halt -command {exec shutdown -h now}
button .reboot -text Reboot -command {exec shutdown -r now}
pack .halt .reboot -side left
EOF
echo $! /var/run/xdmbutton.pid
and add the following line to /etc/X11/xdm/Xstartup_0:
if test -r /var/run/xdmbutton.pid; then kill `cat /var/run/xdmbutton.pid`; fi
This will pop up two buttons in the lower left corner of your screen. The
Halt button will shut down your system, while the Reboot button will
reboot (useful if you also have Windows 95 *yuck* on your computer).
In my opinion, this is much more useful than Ctrl-Alt-Delete.
