Since xdm is dynamically linked against -lcrypt, there's no issue on export restriction outside US for this binary distribution of xdm: it does not contain the DES encryption code. So it's now included in the bin package.
To start the display manager, log in as root on the console and type:
``xdm -nodaemon''.
You can start xdm automatically on bootup by disabling the console getty
adding the following code to /etc/rc.local:
if [ -x /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm ]; then
echo -n ' xdm'; /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm
fi
To disable the console getty, change ``on'' to ``off'' in
the console entry in /etc/ttys:
ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" pc off secure
