Well after a long period of time, I have finally moved over to GDM as I
figured that I can configure it more than I could with XDM.. I don't know,
maybe I couldn't find the options on XDM.
I have no got GDM going with no GUI on the console but it accepts
connections from clients on specified IP addresses....
Is that something you might want Terry? This way you get the text console
but the GUI support for remote clients...
Yet you can still use startx if you wanted..

What I wanted was something from "man xdm", got zilch.
I'd settle for the /etc/rc.d/init.d/xdm script but, as I don't have it
on my system.
The only xdm executable I have doesn't like anything on the command
line. The other xdm's are directories.
I'm head scratching. None of my books have anything either.
