"xlogin should be the program ..."

"which xlogin" reports nothing.

While the X login display is visible,
dalton:~# ps aux | grep login
root 3020 0.0 0.2 3068 704 pts/0 R+ 09:03 0:00 grep login

and

dalton:~# ps aux | grep x

root       694  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        S<   09:02   0:00 [ata_aux]

So the most likely candidates for the "xlogin widget" are xdm and X. But where are the parameters telling it to make the graphical display on the server and how can I tell it to just use good old login?

The xdm manual is certainly not helping!

Do you need help?

Thanks for any further ideas, ... Peter E.
