This is done via the line: DisplayManager.willing: su nobody -c /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xwilling in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config This fails with 'This account is currently not available'. While searching for this problem I found it is also an OpenBSD PR (system/2145) >How-To-Repeat: ice:~#su nobody -c /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xwilling This account is currently not available. To see this problem in action, modify /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xaccess to allow XDCMP indirect/direct requests and start X with -indirect >Fix: Modify this line (add -m) to: DisplayManager.willing: su -m nobody -c /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xwilling or give user nobody a shell (less recommended) >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
