	As Scotty would say, "The right tool for the right job!"...

	Check out xdm, that's how Sun, Dec, HP and most other vendors
	set up X as the main display and have users log in under
	the server.

	Usually, you run xdm from the rc script on multiuser boot, it
	prints a cutesy login box and users log in. When they exit, it
	resets the server and prints out the cutesy banner again.

		I believe xdm is part of X on Amiga UNIX or it will be
		now that we've brought it up...
