I'm sure this works on 5.0-current, and it may works on 4.x-RELEASE You should append those lines to your /etc/pam.conf # gdm config gdm auth requisite pam_unix.so try_first_pass gdm account requisite pam_unix.so try_first_pass gdm session required pam_permit.so This notes is written by: Yukihiro Nakai <nakai@FreeBSD.org> However, gdm is quite useful. It's the only xdm I've got to work as an XDMCP server with XFree86 4 and using Xsun in SPARC/Solaris as a client. Cheers, -- Anders.
