SDB:XDM Hangs During the Boot Process
Symptom:
During the boot process, XDM seems to hang but then continues after a while.
Cause:
The cause is the file /etc/X0.hosts, belonging to xhost, that contains unknown hosts or blank lines. During the boot process, XDM tries to resolve these names and sends a DNS request. Then it waits until an answer is received or until the timeout expires.
Solution:
List only local known hosts in /etc/X0.hosts and do not enter any blank lines. <keyword>xdm,dns,nameserver</keyword>
