Because of certain systems (namely Solaris, but appartently some RedHat and maybe others) have problems with the length of parameters in inetd.conf, these files were generated to get around this. People should try this if they are getting the 'Grey screen with an X' problem (i.e. no login). I am posting this hoping it will get into the archives so that future searches will find it. -------- Here's the files that I use. Be sure to change the paths appropriately for your install location. Also, recently trying to install on other machines, I found a couple other problems. Make sure that the fontserver 'fp' service is enabled in services and inetd.conf. The other problem I had was that the people here took out S99dtlogin from the /etc/rc2.d directory, so it didn't start on boot (those were production boxes).
