Quite likely. inetd starts ttsession on demand; you will need to install an inetd version that supports RPC, then run the Linux post-install script (which will add the inetd configuration). > More testing is in order...

Looks like I need to install and learn how to configure inetd > for CDE (pointers welcome). Install openbsd-inetd or similar, and the post-install script adds the correct configuration.
