A newbie question (certainly answered before, but I didn't find anything
searching):

Trying to run xdm, it accepts the login, but starts all over again.

As said in "The Complete FreeBSD", I change/add as follows:

In /etc/ttys, I disable one of the terminals:
ttyv3 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 off secure

In /etc/rc.local, I enable xdm:
#put your local stuff here
echo " xdm"; /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm

In /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers, I configure xdm:
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt03

If I run xdm manually, with:
xdm -nodaemon &
I got the same result (i.e. xdm just accepts the login and then loops,
doesn't let me in)

Any suggestions what to do, anyone?
Some configuration missing?
