Really? How many SunRay servers do you maintain?

Not an option because:

- It's not *my* script, it's part of the software provided by Sun and I
  won't change this without need (since it would require to modify it
  after patch installations) -- at least not just to get another login
  manager.

- The actual manipulation of the Xservers file is done by a binary (again
  provided by Sun) for which I do not have sources. So I have to assume that 
  it won't be able to handle other file formats.

- It is not clear if the Xservers file is used/required by other SunRay
  utilities.

- For obvious reasons we want to share our "kdmrc" among our SunRay servers
  which is no longer be possible with the current design.

Kind regards,

 Torsten
