Description Jay Freeman 1999-04-04 07:54:13 UTC

Every time a user connects to kdm, the following message is
logged:

Apr  4 01:50:00 ironclad kdm[19848]: can't execute
"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup" (err 2)

I assume this is because the file that is there instead,
Xsetup_0, was renamed to that to allow a different Xsetup
file per X host, but kdm wasn't updated to this fact.  A
symlink would be easiest, but it would be nice if kdm had
this functionality as well.

BTW, kde* is missing from your component menu.

Comment 2 Preston Brown 1999-04-07 18:13:59 UTC

you must have edited your /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config at some time, or
have an older version, because the version we ship does point
correctly at Xsetup_0 not plain Xsetup.

Now I am even getting the XOpenDisplay problem which I wasn't
before.  On top of all this, kdm DOES come up on the remote screen.
Now, let's log in:

[root(2)@ironclad xdm]# tail /var/log/messages -n 3
Apr 24 11:06:50 ironclad PAM_pwdb[20275]: (kde) session opened for
user saurik by (uid=0)

Apr 24 11:06:53 ironclad kdm[20385]: can't
execute "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup" (err 2)

Unknown exit code from 20275? PAM_pwdb?  At this point my login is
snuffed and I get disconnected.
