You guys kick butt!!
Thanks to Steve Spalding, Christopher C. Stevenson, Marie-Claude Vialatte,
Florus Both, Glenn Newbery, Jakrit Ruangkajorn.

Basically I entered this line into /etc/auth/systems/devassign:

        nagus\:0|nagus\:0.0:v_devs=nagus\:0,nagus\:0.0:v_type=xdisplay:chkent:

and this line into /etc/auth/systems/ttys:

        nagus\:0|nagus\:0.0:t_devname=nagus\:0:t_xdisplay:t_login_timeout#0:chk
ent:

and this line into /etc/securettys:

        nagus:0 (not needed except for root login)

(nagus is my host name)

Then ran these for my 4.0x, /usr/tcb/bin/convauth -d v (for the "deVassign
database) and , /usr/tcb/bin/convauth -d t (for the "Ttys" database).

Thanks

Hey people,
I'm sure I'm missing something...but I'm trying to run Xwindows from my pc
and I keep getting "Cannot obtain database information on this terminal" I
get this from both my alpha's (3.2g & 4.0b). I don't know diddly about X
yet - any clue???
TIA
