Hi Antoine. Here's a paper I wrote last year on configuring XDM in FreeBSD. You can download the pdf from my site: <http://freebsd.hypermart.net/papers/freebsd-xdm.pdf>; Or you can view the pdf online via google doc's viewer: <https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://freebsd.hypermart.net/papers/freebsd-xdm.pdf>; -- Mike Sanders www: http://freebsd.hypermart.net gpg: 0xD94D4C13
