I'm not sure what you are refering to re: aversion to security, but in
any case I seem not to have a xdm.options file. Perhaps you could be less
accusatory and more helpful; after all, we're all here to enjoy the benefits of
the global knowledgebase, rather than picking on others for their lack of
expertise on a given topic.
Calling up the man page on xconsole does not give me any clues as to
how to prevent a user from having it appear in their logon. I've read the man
page; what else would you expect of me?
