Hello!
I have successfully download the FreeBSD 4.0 ISO-image, burnt a CDROM and
installed it on my computer.
While trying to setup "xdm" I found that it is not difficult to configure
"xdm". The session tries to start but immediately stops and the
"login/password" window is displayed again.
I cannot find anything that could be the source of the problem, except by
the "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config" file that says in its last lines:
====================================================================
! SECURITY: do not listen for XDMCP or Chooser requests
! Comment out this line if you want to manage X terminals with xdm
DisplayManager.requestPort: 0
====================================================================
even though I commented out the last line, I have not been able to make
"xdm" to work.
Do you have any ideas of what it is happening?
------
by the way:
I copied the "xdm" file from version 3.4 on my 4.0 installation and it
works perfectly. The only differences in the config files are the
xdm-config lines listed above. /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/chooser is also a
shorter file.
