- Question:
-
- Is there a way to tailor XDM so one user will use olwm and others,
- mwm, twm or tvtwm window manager, (from the ~/.xsessions file!)?
- when /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers is:
-
- :0 local /usr/bin/X11/X
-
- (Most of the users use X11R5 server with Motif Window Manager!!.
-
-
- The scenario:
-
- - We have just installed X11R5 pl.19 on our Sun4 machines.
- - All machines share X11R5 via NFS and work nicely..
- - We use XDM for all suns and Xterminals connected to the Net.
- - Our default window-manager -s mwm)...
-
- User1 wants olwm User2 uses mwm User3 uses mwm
- +--------------+ +-------------+ +--------------+
- | Vivaldi(Sun4)| | Mozart(Sun4)| | X-terminal |
- +--------------+ +-------------+ +--------------+
-
-
- The Problem:
-
- - User1 wants to use open-look window manager (We have Openwindows2)
- - This user works on Vivaldi's console.. While in mozart, using
- the same /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers file a user uses mwm.
- (/usr/lib/X11/xdm is Mounted via NFS).
- - User3 is connected also to vivaldi and it uses mwm. (Via X-terminal)
-
- Please reply via e-mail (ricky@FibHaifa.com) I'll sumarize this..
