We provide xdm as a convenience to our users but we don't really support it (other that "it builds"). So please file a bug upstream and paste the URL here so we can track the issue. Thanks
Upstream : https://bugs.freedesktop.org/ Thanks
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25112 ------- Comment #2 From Julien Cristau 2009-11-16 08:38:23 PST ------- aiui when using PAM this configuration is not used.
Definitely not a Gentoo-specific bug. Let's track the bug upstream directly. Thanks
