A user on another group suggested wdm as a better version of xdm. It has session choices and reboot/shutdown built into the gui login menu. In actuality, it's and etension of the xdm sources.
Unfortunately the user who recommended it runs debian, and wdm "just works, so he doesn't have a cl;ue about my problem. Here's the scoop: 1. Had to install WindowMaker (wdm uses a wraster lib from wmaker) 2. config, make, make install were ok 3. xdm is still in default runscripts 4. Changed WM to wdm in /etc/rc.conf 5. Reboot Wdm comes up, allows me to change the session, enter my user id, enter my password, then I always get 'login failed.' regardless of the user or session selected. This will be great when it works; right now, it's a boat anchor. Has anyone used wdm, or does anyone know what I could look for? I don't find any error messages logged in the wdm error log or any of the ususal logging places.
