We Meet Again,

Thanks to Dave Munro (phs1dm@ph.surrey.ac.uk) who informed me that my
error {error (pid 708): Unkown session exit code 2817 from process 711}
was a result of not setting OPENWINHOME prior to starting up xdm.

I had the following entry in my /etc/rc.local:

if [ -f /usr/openwin/bin/xdm ]; then
       /usr/openwin/bin/xdm -config /usr/openwin/lib/xdm/xdm-config
        echo -n " xdm"
fi

where it should have been this:

if [ -f /usr/openwin/bin/xdm ]; then
        OPENWINHOME=/usr/openwin
        export OPENWINHOME
        /usr/openwin/bin/xdm -config /usr/openwin/lib/xdm/xdm-config
        echo -n " xdm"
fi

Problem fixed. Once again thanks to all that sent information and
configuration files the first time around.
