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 un-commenting the following
code in /etc/rc.local
:
if [ -x /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm ]; then
echo -n ' xdm'; /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm
fi
On the default OpenBSD 2.2 installation, you will also need to create the virtual console device for the X server:
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV ttyC5
It's also better to specify explicitly the virtual console to be used
by the X server. If you're experimenting keyboards lockup with xdm, in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers
, replace the line:
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X
by:
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt06
