I could really use some help here. I would like to customise my XDM login and having read up about it have come to the conclusion that this is done via the /etc/X11/xdm/Xresources file. However, changes I make to this script make no difference at all to my login screen which has a white with black text rectangular login box in the centre (with the heading "X Window System). This black and white login box is what I want to change and I have looked at every file in /etc/X11/xdm but cannot find the script that controls it. As I expected, I can control the background of the login screen via /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup but this black and white rectangular login box remains completely mysterious! Any help is much appreciated james. ********************************************************************* This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

I would suggest using KDM. It is easily configured via roots control center. "System ; login manager". KDE2.0/KDE2.1 setup is real nice using KDM instead of XDM. -- Mark Hounschell dmarkh@cfl.rr.com

Try cat /proc/rtc or cat /proc/drivers/rtc if you have the 2.4.2 kernel series

sorry I thought it said - how to read the time
You should probably read, '' man date '' to see how to do date -s -s, --set=STRING set time described by STRING
