Greetings,

I've just gotten the XFree 2.0 downloaded and upacked.  One MAJOR
problem.  When I fire up xdm-des (linked as xdm) I try to log in and it
won't let me.

My system is XFree 2.0 on top of FreeBSD 1.0-release with the DES stuff
in it.  The ONLY kernal change is a QIC-80 driver set from Steve
Gerikines (sorry if I butchered your name).

any ideas greatly appreciated.

Mark
