Tobias Kortkamp <t@tobik.me> has asked x11@FreeBSD.org for maintainer-appro= val: Bug 211624: x11/xdm: Use MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 by default https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D211624 Attachment 173356: xdm.diff https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D173356&action=3Dedit --- 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: http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/xenocara/app/xdm/config/xdm-config= .cpp ?rev=3D1.5&content-type=3Dtext/x-cvsweb-markup There is a related issue on the Debian bug tracker: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D486606
