Invoking XDM requires to be logged in as root

Product Version: 5.2
Problem Title:
Invoking XDM requires to be logged in as root
Problem Description:
Typing XDM at the shell prompt when logged as standard user and running.
Openwin complains that it needs to be logged as root in order to run.
Solution 1:
After Xact Install/Configuration, check carefully that you have added
$XACT/bin/sparc in your $PATH variable BEFORE /usr/openwin/bin
Otherwise, typing 'xdm' invokes Xwindows Display Manager, that actually can
be ran only when logged as root.
