I get a "client 5 rejected from local > host" in my logs, and I get a "run_session_chiled: Could not open > ~/.xsession-errors" on the console (even though it exists)... I have vague recollections that your ~/.xsession should be marked executable for xdm/gdm/kdm to work properly. Is it? I can't recall if there is a special group added to /etc/group for the xsession manager but if there is one your users may need to belong to that group. Does gdm run SUID? Can't recall, but it may need to. If 'startx' works then I assume you have 'wrapper' installed. I'm not sure about the interaction of wrapper with gdm but you could try de-installing it. Only takes a second to re-install it. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
