The problem was that xdm sessions on our large installed base of
Xterminals would either spontaneously die or fail to startup, with
curious error messages being reported in xdm-errors something like
error (pid 2830): Unknown session exit code 2816 from process 2326
We have 40+ Xterms being served by our Alpha. Replies came in quickly and
were right on the money. Thanks go to
Hellebo Knut <Knut.Hellebo_at_nho.hydro.com>
Martin Li <martin_at_maths.unsw.EDU.AU>
Both immediately suggested installing the patch OSF350X-005 (which
replaces the xdm binary with a newer version). I've installed the patch.
Cheers
Chris
