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". >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
