Reading the patches from the port, it's amazing how unoriginal my
patch was.  But I'll admit I didn't know there was a XFree86 port.
In any case, when I do an OS install and choose to include X, are the
binaries that get installed generated from the port,
or are they obtained from another source (like a binary dist from
XFree86.org)? 

Would it be possible to get the xdm that gets intalled during
OS install (X User, X Developer, etc.) be a 'login.conf aware' xdm?
That is, if the OS install uses pure XFree86 code, has [should?] the
patch in the port made it back to XFree86?

Thanks,
-Ted
