xdm: getting back to chooser with ctl-alt-backspace
I have this line in inittab:
7:5:respawn:/usr/X11/R6/bin/X -indirect daisy
I have these lines in Xaccess on the same system:
daisy
daisy CHOOSER dewey daisy huey
The system has xdm installed, but I changed Xservers to not put a prompt
on the local system. This basically works, I can log in to the local
system or to my choice of two other systems. But, there are two problems.
First, if I exit X using ctl-alt-backspace, I get back to the login prompt
for the system that I previously chose. If I exit X by using "Yes, really
exit" from the twm menu, I get back to the chooser. How can I make
ctl-alt-backspace get me back to the chooser? This is important because
other people may use this system and may find themselves with login
prompts to systems that they don't have accounts on.
Second, I don't want daisy to make an indirect query to itself, I want it
to make an indirect query to dewey. I changed the Xaccess file on dewey
in the same way. Then, when I make the indirect query to dewey, I get the
menu of all three systems, but for dewey and huey it says that I'm not
authorized to use those systems. That seems strange considering that I
can use those systems if the indirect query is handled by my local system.
