Have you tweaked your /etc/pam.conf? My copy of /etc/pam.conf doesn't have an xdm line and I login via XDM all the time. I'm using /etc/pam.conf version # $FreeBSD: src/etc/pam.conf,v 1.1 1998/11/20 23:20:01 jdp Exp $ which is the most recent version on the RELENG_3 branch. (FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE) From looking at the tags on the file, this file hasn't changed since at least 3.1.
