Bug#630778: xdm does not just work
Package: xdm
Version: 1:1.1.10-3
See bug #76929 in particular PAM.
Trying a Wyse Winterm with XDMCP direct. I see the login widget then it
dies. (The Wyse Winterm then starts up and can then RDP login to xrdp
package I have running on system. Really should do X to a Linux box.
Wyse Winterm can not do ssh -X due to a problem with it. This like RDP
carries an unnecessary overhead for properly managed LAN. The X
client-server model is far superior.)
Looks like quite a few more files now need to be changed before xdm
will work. Would be nice if it just worked.

Should I really need to put DHCP pool in the DNS? This is a test
machine and some one else looks up reverse for 10.in-addr.arpa.

My config files were patched similar to original post, but I also do
not use xdm for local display.
Xaccess (had to uncomment these): --
* #any host can get a login window
* CHOOSER BROADCAST #any host can get a chooser
These were originally commented out on my install.
xdm-config (had to comment this out): --
!DisplayManager.requestPort: 0
This was not originally commented out on my install.
Xservers (commented this out as not needed): --
#:0 local /usr/bin/X :0 vt7 -nolisten tcp
Then tried patching /etc/security/pam_env.conf too: --
REMOTEHOST DEFAULT=localhost OVERRIDE=@{PAM_RHOST}
DISPLAY DEFAULT=${REMOTEHOST}:0.0 OVERRIDE=${DISPLAY}
These were originally commented out on my install.
Now get login, but don't get session. Goes back to login.
The remote display is 10.253.0.20.
Does xrdb conflict with this package!?
