However when I rebooted, something somewhere had configured xdm to work for local as well as remote connections. This was (sort of) OK but I'd really prefer it not to happen in the future as:-
In slackware, I think it's in /etc/inittab, but most other distributions have it as a script in /etc/init.d that is called via /etc/rc?.d
How do you shut down?
Personally, C-A-F1 C-A-Del, but some display managers let you pick shutdown or halt and log in with the root password. I think my slackware or LST box had a user called "halt" with /sbin/halt as its shell.
It meant my mouse problems were worse because gpm had got the mouse configured wrong before X got a look in
X can read mouse data from /dev/gpmdata (or similar) if gpm is set up for it, but I don't usually do that.
