Hi all,
I have been using bsd for over a year now, and havent used xdm for ages. I have wmaker installed currently. (.xinitrc and .xsession)
Running 3.4 Stable.
I set up the .sh in /usr/local/etc/rc.d no problem, let it sleep for 10 seconds so getty can do its thing as per the bsd-handbook directions.
After rebooting to check that script works, xdm comes up nicely. When I insert username and p-word, the screen blanks briefly as if positively, but takes me back to the xdm logging. I recall having this problem some time ago, but cant recall how I fixed it!
Please help me out on this one---cant find documentation, its late, and I want to get this baby working NOW!
Cheers for any response!
Glen.

Uh,
I figured it out.
Would be good if the file was executable wouldnt it??!!!
chmod 755 .xsession did the trick :)

I have the same problem, only 'chmod 755 .xsession' wont fix it, everything in .xsession starts up, but of some reason they cant connect to the Xserver.
.xsession-errors says:
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
wmaker fatal error: could not open display ":0"
According to the files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm, everything should be set. I mean, clients should be authorized to connect, i guess i forgot something some where, i have very little experience with xdm, just thought it would be neat at my other box.
Btw, i run 4.0, hadnīt had the chance to try it under 3.x.
Any thoughts? :P

Hi Nevyn,
Try:
xhost + <read man page for this and other options...very usefull>
also,try to export the display,ie:
export DISPLAY=mybox.mydomain.com:0
let me know how it turns out ;)
Cheers,
Glen.

xdm works perfectly when changing the following lines in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm-config
---
DisplayManager._0.authorize: true DisplayManager._1.authorize: true
---
to:
---
DisplayManager._0.authorize: false DisplayManager._1.authorize: false
---
Im not sure if the last line was needed cause i only have one display ( 0 ).
The authorization stuff just doesnīt seem to work for me, and iīm not so sure its really needed at isolated workstations ;)
Good day
/Nevyn

hi, people
I'm using both FreeBSD-4.0 and 4.1.1 and 've tried xdm login using /usr/local/etc/rc.d/x.sh as described in FreeBSD FAQ (in/usr/share/docs/faq). It works well with 4.0 but when I log in as root with FreeBSD-4.1.1 it takes me back to the grey xdm login screen. Perhaps some security gap?
Moreover, how to set the langage to French : it 've tried setenv LANG fr in .xinitrc then in .xsession without any change. What about kdm?
