hi!

I encounter a strange behavior with xdm. I am doing an installation of
FreeBSD 4.0 RELEASE on a new hard drive (I am currently using FreeBSD
3.4).

After installing XFree using sysinstall, I have modified /etc/ttys to
activate xdm:
ttyv8   "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon"  xterm   on  secure

Then I kill -HUP 1 to rescan ttys.

xdm starts.

First stangre behavior is that the name of the window is :
"W Window System" instead of the hostname.

Then, if I try to logon, xdm starts again to ask me again a login and
password. If I check the .xsession-errors file of the user, I can read:

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
Error: Can't open display: :0

This messages appears when xsm tries to start.

Another behavior is that if that xdm does not allow me to start a
failsafe session by depressing F1 instead of return after password.

I would really appreciate any hints!

Bye.

Phil.
