Subject: [Q] inittab and xdm
Date: Mon, 9 Aug 1993 08:32:36 GMT

Couldn't find documentation on init, and particularly the format of
/etc/inittab (SLS 1.02 version, if it makes a difference). Pointers to
documentation appreciated.

The reason for asking is that I want to kick up xdm on bootup as the
primary login window - I've got xdm working fine from a root login,
all I need now is get it invoked automatically at boot time in the
appropriate place. I'd like to still have getty running on one or two
virtual consoles so I can bypass X/xdm if I need to, which is
presumably a sensible thing to do!

Thanks in advance for any information.
