Regarding #2, you could put something else in place of the * . I am not sure of the exact format of this file, but something like: 127.0.0. Otheripnumbers as the first line might be enuf to limit logons just to your local computer. Regarding #3, what was in your Xaccess file that was preventing you from logging in? Regarding #1, I don't know nuthin' about configuring GUI's. Do you have the same problem if you just start the xserver with startx or kde or whatever without using xdm? If the problem goes away when you start the xserver directly, then try printing out the man page for xdm and reading it over and over again, like I did when I got into the kdm thing. (I really think the CHOOSER option is cool!) There are tons of configuration items there, most of which I don't have any idea about but they might relate to the problem.
