Ted is still the man, but the patch I sent earlier had a typo that prevents correct authorization processing... To recap, in 4.0 REL, xdm is built with the ability to do XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1, but, apparently, the servers are not. This prevents all clients from connecting to the server. The following patch disables XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 and just has the server use MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1. It would be nice if this was listed in the errata. Of course, even better would be to have the servers re-built so they support XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 (assuming that is truly what the problem is) and have *them* listed in the errata also. Here is the corrected patch (note the "-" instead of the "_"): *** xdm-config.orig Thu Apr 13 16:37:35 2000 --- xdm-config Fri Apr 14 19:31:07 2000 *************** *** 10,16 **** --- 10,18 ---- ! X terminals will be configured that way, so by default ! use authorization only for local displays :0, :1, etc. DisplayManager._0.authorize: true + DisplayManager._0.authName: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 DisplayManager._1.authorize: true + DisplayManager._1.authName: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ! The following three resources set up display :0 as the console. DisplayManager._0.setup: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 DisplayManager._0.startup: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/GiveConsole Thanks! -- Robert Withrow -- (+1 978 288 8256) BWithrow@BayNetworks.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
