--- Description ---
xdm has issues on FreeBSD in the default configuration.  I've had errors wh=
ere
I was successfully logged in and then my X session died immediately.  With
xdm's default config SDL2 clients cannot be run, quitting with:

XDM authorization key matches an existing client!

There are other related issues (see linked bugs).  All of these issues seem=
 to
boil down to XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 being broken.	Adding=20

DisplayManager.*.authName:     MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1

in xdm-config solves all of these problems.  I would like to see this in xd=
m in
the default configuration.

OpenBSD has done this since OpenBSD 2.4:

.cpp
?rev=3D1.5&content-type=3Dtext/x-cvsweb-markup

There is a related issue on the Debian bug tracker:
