xdm login problems
Hello all:
A strange problem with xdm. The setup is this: a NIS server we'll cleverly
call server, and a NIS client we'll cleverly call client. xdm works
with no problems on server. Console logins on client work fine.
However if I start xdm and then try to log in on client the following
happen:
when attempting to log in as a regular user the screen accepts the
correct password, goes blank and clicks for a second, then goes back to
the xdm login prompt. Deliberately (or indeliberately) entering an
incorrect password results in the usual incorrect login message. When
attempting to log in as root on client using the client root password,
xdm gives the incorrect login message. When attempting to log in as
root on client using server's root password the screen goes blank and
clicks for a second, then goes back to the xdm login prompt.
Logging in on the console then typing startx starts X on the client
fine, so I don't think it's a problem analogous to trying to log in with
no shell. The following lines are from the xdm.log file:
