Thank you for your answer.
Trying to provide more info.
i) xdm starts and show the login/password screen :)
ii) I provide my username and password :)
iii) the login/password screen disappears :)
iv) the user's X session does not begin, instead the X servers is
initialised (it seems like that) and the login/password screen
reappears :(
I am trying to look in the /etc/X11/xdm/ files for something wrong but
without any luck...
The end of the file /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-errors looks like this
AUDIT: Tue Jul 31 10:28:47 2001: 2324 X: client 3 rejected from local host
Auth name: XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 ID: -1
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
xmodmap: unable to open display ':0'
(--) SVGA: Read OPTION 0x40079121
xdm error (pid 2371): fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe)
Thanks.
