hi! I encounter a strange behavior with xdm. I am doing an installation of FreeBSD 4.0 RELEASE on a new hard drive (I am currently using FreeBSD 3.4). After installing XFree using sysinstall, I have modified /etc/ttys to activate xdm: ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure Then I kill -HUP 1 to rescan ttys. xdm starts. First stangre behavior is that the name of the window is : "W Window System" instead of the hostname. Then, if I try to logon, xdm starts again to ask me again a login and password. If I check the .xsession-errors file of the user, I can read: Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server Error: Can't open display: :0 This messages appears when xsm tries to start. Another behavior is that if that xdm does not allow me to start a failsafe session by depressing F1 instead of return after password. I would really appreciate any hints! Bye. Phil.
