[gdm-list] Debugging gdm on FreeBSD.

[Michael Johnson <ahze freebsd org>]

Hello,

I'm trying to get gdm 3.2.1.1 working on FreeBSD and am being unsuccessful at it.

Here is what happens:

[root@aret /home/ahze]# gdm

<< snip>>

gdm-binary[61161]: DEBUG(+): GdmXdmcpDisplayFactory: Attempting to bind to host 0.0.0.0 port 177

gdm-binary[61161]: DEBUG(+): GdmXdmcpDisplayFactory: Starting to listen on XDMCP port

gdm-binary[61161]: DEBUG(+): GdmDisplay: Setting slave bus name::1.85 on display :0

gdm-binary[61161]: DEBUG(+): GdmSlave: Got timed login details for display :0: 0 '(null)' 0

gdm-binary[61161]: DEBUG(+): GdmSlave: Got timed login details for display :0: 0 '(null)' 0

At this point X is up with a black screen and a watch mouse pointer and never displays login screen. 

And from :0-slave.log:

....

gdm-welcome][61218]: DEBUG(+): GdmSessionWorker: PAM conversation returning 6: conversation failure

gdm-welcome][61218]: DEBUG(+): GdmSessionWorker: authentication returned 6: conversation failure

Any help in to this would be greatly appreciated.
