I'm not saying that this is the same problem or this is the solution, but maybe, maybe can be a hit. I'm not a FreeBSD hacker, specialist or other thing further a curious user. I use xdm on all my virtual machines to log in. But, I face a problem with xdm from ports. When I inform the login and password the screen blinks some times and returns to xdm screen login. The solution that I'm found to this was apply this patch to xdm port: [ota@nostromo /usr/ports/x11/xdm]$ svnlite diff Makefile Index: Makefile =================================================================== --- Makefile (revision 413756) +++ Makefile (working copy) @@ -13,7 +13,8 @@ XORG_CAT= app USE_XORG= xmu x11 xau xinerama xpm xdmcp xt xext xaw CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --with-xdmconfigdir=${PREFIX}/lib/X11/xdm \ - --with-xdmscriptdir=${PREFIX}/lib/X11/xdm + --with-xdmscriptdir=${PREFIX}/lib/X11/xdm \ + --disable-xdm-auth USES= cpe libtool CPE_PRODUCT= x_display_manager CPE_VENDOR= x For my problem, the solution was add --disable-xdm-auth to configure args. I not saying that this is a solution for your problem. I send it in the hope that it can help you of some way. []'s -Otacílio
