Hi there, today, I found time to install 4.0-RELEASE from Walnut Creek cdrom. There seems to be a problem with xdm and the X server, which has to do with MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE authorisation. The greeter window of xdm is titled "X Window System" instead of the machine name, the error message "login incorrect" is black, in contrast to the configuration file, which says it should be red. In the .xsession-errors file of the user, I find lots of Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server xrdb: Can't open display ':0' Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server Error: Can't open display: :0 and in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-errors: [...] System: `/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/xkbcomp -w 1 -R/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb -xkm -m de -em1 "The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:" -emp "> " -eml "Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server" keymap/xfree86 compiled/xfree86.xkm' AUDIT: Sun Jul 30 19:05:47 2000: 877 X: client 2 rejected from local host Auth name: XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 ID: -1 Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server /usr/X11R6/bin/xrdb: Can't open display ':0' AUDIT: Sun Jul 30 19:05:47 2000: 877 X: client 3 rejected from local host Auth name: XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 ID: -1 Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server Error: Can't open display: :0 In the archives of freebsd-questions, I found several reports of the problem, and one answer about recompiling xdm against a new PAM library, and no more answers. - Is there a solution for this problem short of compiling parts of X? I don't dare doing this, unless it's absolutely necessary. - If not, might it be a solution to get a re-compiled xdm from somebody who successfully recompiled it? Where could I get one?
