Starting a Failsafe Session

If the user selects Failsafe Session from the Sessions submenu of the login screen Options menu, the login server runs the Xfailsafe script. Xfailsafe runs with the user's authority and issues commands needed to start a minimal windowing environment, usually a Terminal window and an optional window manager.

To modify Xfailsafe, copy Xfailsafe from /usr/dt/config to /etc/dt/config. The next time the user logs in, the modified Xfailsafe will be run.
