There are revised README.386BSD and XFree86-1.2-386BSD-errata files and an xdm linked with crypt_dummy.c in /pub/incoming/XFree86-1.2 on agate.berkeley.edu (128.32.136.1). If you don't see it there, Chris has moved it to /pub/386BSD/0.1-ports/XFree86-1.2. Rich 5: xdm in XFree86-1.2-bin.tar.Z uses des (encryption) contrary to the README.386BSD. This distribution was unintentionally built with a working crypt (des). If you have replaced crypt on your system (see Chris Demetriou's /usr/386bsd.errata/crypt.instructions) and use encrypted passwords you can use the xdm binary in XFree86-1.2-bin.tar.Z. If you have not replaced crypt, get XFree86-1.2-xdm-nodes.tar.Z and install the xdm it contains. Otherwise xdm will not accept passwords. This latter xdm binary uses the 386BSD 0.1's dummy crypt routine that prints the message 'Crypt not present in system' in the xdm-errors file each time a user logs in. You can ignore this. It merely tells you that passwords in /etc/passwd are unencrypted. -- Please send submissions for comp.os.386bsd.announce to: 386bsd-announce@agate.berkeley.edu
