- Richard,
-
- it's exactly my problem. Before your mail, I have talked to the Sun people,
- and they told me that was a proplem of the xdm from MIT X11R4. I have
- modified the xdm code myself (exactly the same lines that you told)
- and it work well. But now then I know that was corrected in the X11R5,
- I will use the xdm from X11R5.

- P.S.: Excuse my english, I'm not biligual...
