README

        
The default installation settings of xdm match those used for most platforms

in the previous X.Org releases:

    Scripts & modules:          $(libdir)/X11/xdm (aka $(prefix)/lib/X11/xdm)

    Configuration files:        $(libdir)/X11/xdm

    Pixmap files:               $(libdir)/X11/xdm/pixmaps

    Log files:                  /var/log

    Process id/lock files:      /var/run

    xauth cookie files:         /var/lib/xdm

These may be overridden with the following options to configure:

    Loadable modules:           --with-xdmlibdir

    Scripts:                    --with-xdmscriptdir (or --with-xdmlibdir)

    Configuration files:        --with-xdmconfigdir (or --with-xdmlibdir)

    Pixmap files:               --with-xdmpixmapdir (or --with-xdmlibdir)

    Log files:                  --with-logdir

    Process id/lock files:      --with-piddir

    xauth cookie files:         --with-authdir

For instance, some packagers/sites may prefer:

    --with-xdmconfigdir=/etc/X11/xdm

    --with-xdmlibdir=$(prefix)/lib/xdm

    --with-xdmscriptdir=/etc/X11/xdm

The handling of --with-utmp-file & --with-wtmp-file have also changed

slightly since previous versions of xdm:

    --with-{u,w}tmp-file

        [default] write records to utmp/wtmp files, but allow sessreg to

        use its builtin default paths. Omits -u/-w flag entirely from

        sessreg command in Xstartup & Xreset files.

    --with-{u,w}tmp-file=

        write records to utmp/wtmp files at specified filename.

        Passes filename as argument to sessreg -u/-w flag in Xstartup/Xreset.

    --without-{u,w}tmp-file   or    --with-{u,w}tmp-file=none

        Do not write records to utmp/wtmp files at all.

        Passes "none" as argument to sessreg -u/-w flag in Xstartup/Xreset.
