>Description:
I have set up and installed Kerberos V at our site; all clients
and servers work as expected. However, many people use X-clients
(X terminals or X software on a PC) to log in to servers, which
bypasses Kerberos authentication. Is there a way to force the
X display manager (xdm) to use Kerberos authentication instead of
normal Unix password file authentication?
I have tried replacing the "login" program with the Kerberos
login.krb5, but apparently the xdm uses its own internal
authentication instead of going through "login".
