i don't use xdm at the moment, just startx.

Is it possible to get xdm to put a login prompt on more than one vc?

e.g.  have xdm login screens on vc 3,4,5,6

so i can login on vc3 but let other people share my machine in X windows
without having to log out...just press ctrl-alt-F4 to switch to another X
login screen.

Anyone done this before? if xdm can't do it, is there another tool that
can?
