Branden, thank you very much for responding to our bug report in a quick and professional manner! I have tested your bug fix version of XDM. After installing the newly-compiled XDM I cannot log in at all; perhaps a new bug was introduced into the code? Here are the steps I carried out: 1. Installed Debian/sarge on a test machine. 2. Verified that the bug was reproducible with the stock XDM that came with the system (version 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4). 3. Compiled and installed the patched version of XDM according to your instructions[1]. 4. Restarted xdm by running /etc/init.d/xdm/restart. 5. Now cannot log in at all now, not even for the users who are not over disk quota. 6. If I switch back to the unpatched binary of xdm, log-ins start working again (for not-over-quota accounts). Footnotes: [1] [For the record, in addition to the steps that you provided I had to do two additional things: (1) change all references in the Makefile to /usr/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-linux/3.3.4/include/ to .../gcc-lib/i486-linux/..., and (2) install the libxaw7-dev library.] -- Arcady Genkin : CDF Systems Administrator http://www.cdf.toronto.edu/~agenkin/contact.html
