I had found this recommendation in the archives (so now I think it was from you ;-) ). But it looked like weird to me that such a modification had to be made for a basic FreeBSD installation. Furthermore, my current installation (3.3 Stable) works correctly with the same xdm-config file. I do not understand this authorization configuration therefore I am not vey enthusiastic in unsetting a default configuration in a FreeBSD installation. I thought that my problem was more about an hostname resolution topic or whatever! You (or someone else) may explain to me why this modification is require and what is the impact. Why do I have this behavior and why this is not the default? Thank you very much! Phil.
