Hi, thank you very much for your help.

The reason it doesn't work with xdm is that this program ignores the LD_LIBRARY_PATH env variable for security reasons. You can configure this, though. I forgot the details but somewhere in /etc/X11/xdm you can tell it to not ignore the value, or even set it to some fixed value.
I didn't find a solution for this one, so a bit of "symlink voodoo" in /lib solved the problem for now. ;-)

Dunno right now, but any difference from how it is handled on Linux would show up in the X Manifest check when building the packages. Try the above first.
Well, the libXdmGreet.so error still exists on my system. I solved it by recompiling the current XFree sources (4.1.0) and copying the new xdm binary over the old one - no libXdmGreet needed anymore (libXdmGreet.so doesn't exist in my partial X build either).
Now I get a login prompt over the network (via XDMCP) - but when I login (as root), nothing happens. The last thing I can see in the log is that the .xsession script gets invoked.
I don't know if this is related to these error messages in my xdm.log:
WaitForSomething(): select: errno=268435463 and _XSERVTransSocketUNIXAccept: accept() failed
A quick search revealed that the errno returned by select might be EMACH_SEND_INTERRUPTED, any hints on this one?
regards, Daniel
