xdm doesn't start properly

[BG Lim <b.lim6@ugrad.unimelb.edu.au>]

Hi,

I've been using Debian 1.3 now for some time. Recently, I thought of using
xdm to log on instead. However when I type xdm, nothing happens and I get
the prompt back.

So, as root, I typed 'xdm -debug 1' and this is the result:

...
creating socket 177
xdm error (pid 244): error 98 binding socket address 177
Nothing left to do, exiting
#
...

Can anyone help me? I haven't tampered with any of the default settings,
except to insert 'start-xdm' in the config file in the X preferences
directory.
