I'm looking for a method to use xdm to come up on my system permanently
in a fashion similar to the way it's done on most systems, e.g. Ultrix:

at the end of /etc/ttys:

:0 "/usr/bin/login -P /usr/bin/Xprompter -C /usr/bin/dxsession" none on secure w
indow="/usr/bin/Xcfb"
:1 "/usr/bin/login -P /usr/local/xprompter-ncd -C /usr/local/start-ncd -e" none
on secure

What would it require? A special login program? A special init?
Any clues?
