Re: problem connecting to gdm from an X terminal

["Brock Freeman" <brock freeman mila com>]

I have this funny feeling that this conf file may not be all you have
problems with.  I have NCD's hooked up too.  Just upgraded to RH 6.0 and
everything looks great.  If you are running xdm, then I think the file that
matters is /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config  But just in case here is mine for both of
them:

/etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config

DisplayManager.errorLogFile:    /var/log/xdm-error.log
DisplayManager.pidFile:         /var/run/xdm.pid
DisplayManager.keyFile:         /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-keys
DisplayManager.servers:         /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers
DisplayManager.accessFile:      /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess
! All displays should use authorization, but we cannot be sure
! X terminals will be configured that way, so by default
! use authorization only for local displays :0, :1, etc.
DisplayManager._0.authorize:    true
DisplayManager._1.authorize:    true
! The following three resources set up display :0 as the console.
DisplayManager._0.setup:        /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0
DisplayManager._0.startup:      /etc/X11/xdm/GiveConsole
DisplayManager._0.reset:        /etc/X11/xdm/TakeConsole
!
DisplayManager*resources:       /etc/X11/xdm/Xresources
DisplayManager*session:         /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession
DisplayManager*authComplain:    false

and gdm.conf
