Re: x-server login prompt....

[Matthew Hoskins <mhoskins@microdsi.net>]

Where are you serving fonts from? Are they local (ie: included as files in the
diskless fs) OR are you depending on xfs (X font server) if so and running on
a default RH6.x install as font server you need to add the port number option
to the daemon line in /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs ... by deafult the port is set to
null..

Should look something liek :

<snip>
case "$1" in
  start)
        echo -n "Starting X Font Server: "
        rm -fr /tmp/.font-unix
        daemon xfs -droppriv -daemon -port 7100
        touch /var/lock/subsys/xfs
        echo
        ;;
<snip>

It is by Linux alone I set my machine in motion.
      It is by the open source alone that kernel acquires speed,
       the modules acquire patches.
      The patches become a new release.
