I have an HPUX VME card in a chassis with a couple of BARCO cards that
drive my monitor. This means that all I can run is BARCO's Xserver.
When I configure the machine to trusted mode I can no longer log into
the X console. If I cannot a dumb terminal I can log in no problem.
This leads me to believe that there is something wrong with BARCO's X
server or xdm frontend. I have heard that HPUX trusted mode only works
with CDE as a frontend. Does anyone know anyhting about this? Or where
I can obtain official documentation of this?

Thank you.

I had your problem using the X11R5 supplied version of xdm as a
login frontend (we used this frontend because it took less memory than CDE).
My modification was the change the source code; by using the getprpwnam()
function call to retrieve the required trusted record details.

Perhaps you could try an xdm other than the BARCO one ?

CDE's dtlogin can function as xdm. Simply change Xconfig to match your
xdm-config.
