Re: [foxboro] Display manager initial environment


Hi Roger,

  In the OLD Display Manager (not Foxview) the magic file is
/usr/fox/customer/hi/dmcfg.  Changes to this file only "take" after a
reboot, so it is possible you set it up correctly but haven't re-booted yet.

  This is an excerpt from one of my dmcfg's (version 4.3)
***********************************************************
SCREEN    pc_eng   murray  F4AW51

TYPE  Engineer          -              E               Proc_Eng_Env

NAME   F4AW51       F4AW51            .0             -
NAME   F4AW51       F4AW01            $pc_eng        Engineer
NAME   F4AW51       F4AW07            $pc_eng        Engineer

***********************************************************

  This assigns a dedicated DM slot to the user identified as murray (via
/etc/hosts) on slots F4AW01 & F4AW07.

  When I login the DM automatically prompts me for the Proc_Eng_Env
password.  All three settings have to jive for the SCREEN, TYPE, & NAME.
You can also set the AM up the same way.

  You can modify the environment files without rebooting, but changes to the
dmcfg require a reboot.

  Cheers,

Subject: [foxboro] Display manager initial environment



The documentation on display manager configuration indicates one can
configure the initial environment for a DM via the DM type parameter.
However, I can not get this to work.  I seem to remember this was a known
problem in the past, but I'm not sure.  Does this work now (I'm at V6.1.1),
and if so, are there some tricks to it?
