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: AUDIT: Thu Aug 17 03:40:27 2000: 621 X: client 2 rejected from local host Auth name: XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 ID: -1 Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server /usr/X11R6/bin/xrdb: Can't open display ':0' AUDIT: Thu Aug 17 03:40:27 2000: 621 X: client 3 rejected from local host Auth name: XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 ID: -1 Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server xmodmap: unable to open display ':0' AUDIT: Thu Aug 17 03:40:30 2000: 621 X: client 2 rejected from local host Auth name: XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 ID: -1 AUDIT: Thu Aug 17 03:40:30 2000: 621 X: client 2 rejected from local host Auth name: XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 ID: -1 AUDIT: Thu Aug 17 03:40:30 2000: 621 X: client 2 rejected from local host Auth name: XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 ID: -1 AUDIT: Thu Aug 17 03:40:30 2000: 621 X: client 2 rejected from local host Auth name: XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 ID: -1 AUDIT: Thu Aug 17 03:40:30 2000: 621 X: client 2 rejected from local host Auth name: XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 ID: -1 AUDIT: Thu Aug 17 03:40:31 2000: 621 X: client 2 rejected from local host Auth name: XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 ID: -1 AUDIT: Thu Aug 17 03:40:31 2000: 621 X: client 2 rejected from local host Auth name: XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 ID: -1 AUDIT: Thu Aug 17 03:40:32 2000: 621 X: client 2 rejected from local host Auth name: XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 ID: -1 Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server /usr/X11R6/bin/xrdb: Can't open display ':0' AUDIT: Thu Aug 17 03:40:32 2000: 621 X: client 3 rejected from local host Auth name: XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 ID: -1 Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server xmodmap: unable to open display ':0' Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
