The file xc/lib/Xdmcp/WrapHelp.c
is not available in
France (where the binary distribution is built) so support for
XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 is not included here. You'll have to get
WrapHelp.c and rebuild xdm after having set HasXdmAuth
in
host.def
.
The file is available within the US; for details see ftp.x.org:/pub/R6/xdm-auth/README.
To start the display manager, log in as root on the console and type:
``xdm -nodaemon
''.
You can start xdm automatically on bootup by disabling the console getty
and adding the following code to /etc/rc.local
:
if [ -x /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm ]; then
echo -n ' xdm'; /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm
fi
To disable the console getty, change ``on'' to ``off'' in
the console entry in /etc/ttys
:
ttyC0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" pc off secure
