Description Gregory Bond 2000-06-23 09:10:01 UTC 
X refused to start on my system, a new install from the 4.0 CD.  Symptoms were
that xdm would start, I'd log in, then get kicked straight off. xdm-errors 
had a bunch of lines like
	XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 failed: -1
(exact message no longer in the logs :< )

No clients could get access to the server, not even xhost.

Much hair-pulling, truss-ing of processes etc later, I discovered that
XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 is not working.  If I disable this in xdm-config
by forcing use of MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1, everything works as normal.

How-To-Repeat: 
Iinstall from CD, no crypto, boot & log in to xdm.  Check errors in 
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-errors

Two days after this PR was opened, crypto became required.  See
