>Number: 19461 >Category: conf >Synopsis: X authentication doesn't work off the CD due to crypto problems >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Fri Jun 23 01:10:01 PDT 2000 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: Gregory Bond >Release: FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE i386 >Organization: ITG Australia Limited >Environment: 4.0 installed off the CD, no crypto or international crypto. XDM running from /etc/ttys. >Description: X refused to start on my system, a new install from the 4.0 CD. Symptoms were that xdm would start, I'd log in, then get kicked straight off. xdm-errors had a bunch of lines like XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 failed: -1 (exact message no longer in the logs :< ) No clients could get access to the server, not even xhost. Much hair-pulling, truss-ing of processes etc later, I discovered that XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 is not working. If I disable this in xdm-config by forcing use of MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1, everything works as normal. >How-To-Repeat: Iinstall from CD, no crypto, boot & log in to xdm.
