What is the name of the simple graphical login manager that comes with a vanilla X11 installation? (Specify ONLY the command without any path or parameters.)
The name of the simple graphical login manager that comes with a vanilla X11 installation is xdm. XDM is the traditional graphical login manager for the X Window System, independent of any window manager or environment the user might choose. When it is run at system startup, it displays a graphical login prompt rather than the text-based login prompt at the console1. XDM is part of the xorg-x11-apps package, which provides the basic applications for the X Window System2. XDM is also one of the topics covered by the LPI Linux Professional - Exam 102 Objectives - Topic 111: Graphical Desktops3. References:
