Yes, I am using xdm.

jeff@naro:/home/jeff[888] ps -lC xdm
F S UID PID PPID C PRI NI ADDR SZ WCHAN TTY TIME CMD
1 S 0 6897 1 0 80 0 - 1942 rt_sig ? 00:00:00 xdm
1 S 0 6954 6897 0 80 0 - 2525 wait ? 00:00:00 xdm

The below is what the xauth cmd outputs:

jeff@naro:/home/jeff[889] xauth list :0
naro/unix:0 XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 87996019a0c3913200ae683007fdea25
