How do I get xdm to use the Window Manager specified in .xinitrc?

I login and run "startx" and get the wm I specified.  If I configure xdm
according to the Complete FreeBSD book, I get just twm.

Also, when I login as root, I can run startx.  However, if I login as the
user I set up (as a member of the wheel group), I am unable to run
startx...it says that it can't find the command.

	Thank you,
