I've XFree86 installed and some applications runnin very good (xtank ... 8*)) Now I discovered that the first thing all of our local users (on the 386bsd system) do a login and IMMEDIATELY start X. So I wanted to start the xdm in my rc file (as suggested by the man-pages). It comes up with Hostname and Login: ... But if I try to log in with my definitely CORRECT password it says login incorrect! I have crypt installed and everything connected with it (ftp,tn,passwd ...) Any suggestions? I'm told we can't redistribute xdm binaries with a working crypt due to export restrictions. If someone is willing to sort out the redistribution problem it would solve this -- we have the binaries. gatekeeper.dec.com seems to have a policy that permits redistribution of DES code within the US. Is there someplace similar we can use to distribute an xdm binary with DES?
