I use the wdm login manager from WindowMaker, Actually not from Window Maker... It's got quite a few, erm, 'features' too.

I haven't looked at it in a while but 'Login.App' is a nice and lightweight console utility which also doesn't break xdm function- ality like wdm does. It would make a very nice port if dressed up for FreeBSD, but unfortunately I'm too busy right now...
