Of course, Solaris doesn't offer that feature. Sorry, I was simply assuming you're using X that comes with BSD or Linux. >> Alternatively, if you start through XDM everything should be visible in >> the console window instead. > What is XDM and the console window? XDM is the X Display Manager that supports XDMCP (X Display Manager Control Protocol). Basically, it sends a broadcast out and every X server (that is configured to do so) will answer back. The XDM will then present you with a list of hosts you can choose from where (on which box) you want to log in. Usually, XDM will have a small window open that displays all messages that go directly to /dev/console -- usually the standard error(s). It has been a while since I last used CDE, but if I remember correctly, you can run 'cmdtool -C' to open a console window. Alternatively, you can 'export dtstart_sessionlogfile=/path/to/session.log' in your $HOME/.dtprofile file to have dtlogin dump a log to the specified file. -- Chris _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
