This directory contains a collection of files which describe a configuration of
xdm. Only a few of the many configuration parameters which xdm can be tuned with
are set in this configuration. Read the xdm documentation for a complete 
description.

Notes on configuring xdm:

******

Secure Configuration.

The more secure default xdm configuration only allows local logins.
If remote xdm/chooser access is needed, the system administrator will need
to modify the following files:
	- /usr/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config
	  Comment out the line "DisplayManager.requestPort:     0"
	- /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xaccess
	  Uncomment the desired entries or add your own custom ones.

******

Setting up the users environment.

If you would like all of the users that log into your machine through xdm
to have their $HOME/.profile run the following can be added to the
/usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession file:
	if [ -r $HOME/.profile ]; then
           . $HOME/.profile
        fi

But BEWARE.  It is common for users to have commands in their .profile or
.login that may cause problems when logging in through xdm.  Users should
review their .profile/.login file and remove these commands, or they
should enclose them in an "if" statement that checks for the existance
or value of the XDM_LOGIN environemt variable.
