Hello,
/etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 in is NOT executed, what could be the reason? I
inserted on top of file
echo "hello123" > /tmp/test123
and the file is not created! Who can help?
I'm managing SL 6.10, its deprecated I know, but no way arround, its server
of a customer
Finally I want to start x11vnc in Xsetup_0, like I am used to do it in
Suse-Installations with /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup , the it works perfectly sind 15
years. Now my first contact to SL/ RedHat.
Background: red hat tells that Xsetup_0 is for customizing login:

Xsetup_0 is the right file to do customizations in red hat, here a comparison
of Suse and Red Hat: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__virtualgl.org_vgldoc_2-5F0_&d=DwIDaQ&c=gRgGjJ3BkIsb5y6s49QqsA&r=gd8BzeSQcySVxr0gDWSEbN-P-pgDXkdyCtaMqdCgPPdW1cyL5RIpaIYrCn8C5x2A&m=9FJox_aLoPfQINwEp2m1q_XA0dlYWGQqyQp5v3pYyjY&s=JwhK8skHanCxyhe9mnsLwg3QdTRbLdxfRkicQU9KPVs&e=
I still have a Scientific Linux 6 "virtual machine" (actually a chroot
"container") so I may be in a better position to help than most.
Are you using display :0 and display manager xdm (not gdm or kdm) ?
