Hi
I am trying to get XDM to work with FreeBSD 4.0. I have the same old
problem : login loops back into login screen. I examined the
~/.xsessions-errors file and there are some authorization failures there and
could not connect X:0 errors. startx works fine with me, and I am sure that
all the scripts have their paths set correctly.
I have a 0 byte ~/.Xauthority file. This I believe has something to do with
the authoirization failures....
There have been two postings before on this as I have pasted below:
>I had the .xsession file working in X under FreeBSD version 3.4.
>It seems there was a change in X under FreeBSD version 4.0, it was
>necessary change one line on /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config
>file:

>To:
>DisplayManager._0.authorize: false
As you can see this person has mistakenly forgotten to give the change..both
statements are identical.
Another posting said to add the line
DisplayManager._0.authName= MIT_MAGIC_COOKIE_1
in the xdm-config file
Does anyone know if this works? Any similar experiences with authorization
failures?
Thanks
Shameek
