Hi,

I noticed in the default config file /etc/X11/xenodm/Xresources
there is a rule:

xlogin*login.translations: #override \
        Ctrl<Key>R: abort-display()\n\
[...]

The xenodm(1) man page says:
"
        abort-display
                Terminates the server, disabling it.  This action is not
                accessible in the default configuration.  There are
                various reasons to stop xenodm on a system console, such
                as when shutting the system down, when using xdmshell(1),
                to start another type of server, or to generally access
                the console.  Sending xenodm a SIGHUP will restart the
                display.  See the section CONTROLLING XENODM.
"

I think the man page means the action is not accessible in the default
configuration if there is no Xresources file present.

Currently in the default configuration a user can kill the xenodm service by
pressing Ctrl-R. The user usually cannot restart the daemon themself (no
privileges).


Is this intended?

Sorry if I'm missing something really obvious.
