Run "locate xdm" to find out where your copy of xdm is.  Make sure that
directory is in your path, or symlink xdm to a directory that is in your
path.  If you're using a shell that hashes the executable files on the
path, you need to type "rehash".  I know tcsh does this, I don't know
about other shells.
