Re: XDM not allowing logins
Interesting. I installed 1.3 today, upgrading from 1.2, and, after I
1) killed X, 2) typed "shadowconfig on" (and confirmed its success), and
3) restarted the machine, xdm logins functioned perfectly well, with no
modifications on my part. (I went to look for xdm-shadow, because I
thought I'd need it, but couldn't find it -- apparently because it has
been outdated by a single, cooler xdm that can do shadow or non-shadow.)
Perhaps I'm just a lucky SOB?
