I just install the Xfree86.2-1 and kernel 0.99pl15. Everything seems fine
except that when I tried xdm. I got the Xdm login box, but when I tried to
login then xdm keeps telling me that "Login Incorrect". I looked in the
xdm error file file /usr/X396/lib/X11/xdm/, it told me that verification for
password failed. What's wrong?

P.S: I don't know what's happening to our news server. I cannot read new
or subscribe to comp.os.linux any longer. Does anyboby know what's happening
to newsgroup comp.os.linux (comp.os.linux.admin).

It could be that your password is longer than 7
characters. If so, xdm needs to be recompiled with a special
patch and the SLS shadow library. I'll make the binary and source
available for a week or two via anonymous ftp to

dewdrop.water.ca.gov

in the directory /pub/Linux

Good luck!
