>Description:
Xdm authorization fails after user login.
The user is unable to start an E17 window manager session, and is returned to the xdm login screen.

>How-To-Repeat:
Install i386 8.1-RELEASE.
Install enlightenment e17.
Use the method detailed in the Handbook about starting a window manager (Xfce) using xdm.
>Fix:

Please view /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config.  The default authorization settings were:
DisplayManager*authorize: true

Need to add the missing option:
DisplayManager*authName: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1

otherwise xdm authorization will fail.

Thanks.
