Thank you for all your help.
I couldn't figure out how to get XDM to work with PAM. (xterm Didn't/
couldn't
read my /etc/profile or $HOME/.bash_profile). It looks like I've got a lot
of company. It is either a black art or so simple and elegant not to be
obvious.
I went back to using startx
Anyway this works:
In your $HOME/.bash_profile put
export XAUTHORITY=/home/susan/.Xauthority
xauth add :0 . $(mcookie)
In your /usr/bin/startx change
serverargs=""
to
serverargs="-auth $XAUTHORITY"
Thankyou again for all the help.
