I am trying to turn xdm authorization on and have a couple of questions.
I am running X11R4 on a Sun 4/150 running 4.0.3 of the SunOS.
Running xdm with the -debug 2 option indicates that the
/usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xresources file is not being read. There are no error
messages, but the values for some of the resources listed in the debug output
do not correspond to those listed in the Xresources file. I have checked that
the xdm-config file is being read and does point to the right Xresource file
(/usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xresources). So I have 2 questions:
1) If Xresources the right place to define the authorization resources
(DisplayManager*authorize, et.al.) ?
2) How do I go about trouble shooting the problem with the Xresources file
not being read? I eve nstripped it down to 1 line that should work
but no luck.
I am using NCD X terminals as well.
Thanks.

No, they should go in the xdm-config file.kochmar@hi.sei.cmu.edu (John Kochmar) (02/20/90)

I've experienced the same problem, and I have the resources in the xdm-config file. The problem that Dinah and I have experienced is one with resources incorrectly loaded when the server is foreign. I'm not sure whether this problem is fixed with fix-2, but I spend 2 days last week working on this one, and if the patch doesn't correct it, then I have a fix that does. I sent some mail off to xbugs, but I got no response, so I guess either you guys are swamped, or I sent it to the wrong place. Anyway, there is at least 1 other bug in xdm, the password problem that I thought was fixed some time ago. #=============================================================================# # John Kochmar kochmar@sei.cmu.edu # # SEI Computing Facilities jk9t+@andrew.cmu.edu # # Applications Group #
