Broken xdm / Xvnc combination
Somewhere during the 3.3.6 xdm upgrade, my Xvnc config got
broken. I'd been running Xvnc by using the following /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers
file:
# /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers
#
#:0 local /usr/bin/X11/X vt7 -deferglyphs 16
:1 local /usr/bin/X11/Xvnc :1 -geometry 1280x1024
After the upgrade, I can connect to the vnc server and try to login. After
I type my password, it just kicks me back out to the login widget.
Here's the end of my /var/log/xdm.log:

It looks to me like xauth is not getting setup right. Does anyone know how
to fix
this? I'm running Woody atop 2.2.14
Thanks,
Ted
