I was wondering if anyone could be of some assistance.  I am trying to set up
several X terminals to run off our network.  To allow easy acces for users,
typically students who are unfamiliar with X, I'm trying to run the xdm
Display Manager.  Everything seems to run okay, except for the Xsession file.
Everytime I log in, the Xsession file fails and the only message in my error
log is: "Xsession execution failure /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession".  I have the
appropriate line in xdm-config, I believe:
"DisplayManager*session: /usr/lib/X11/Xsession", the file is executable, and I
even put full pathnames for the commands in it thinking that was the problem.
Has anyone seen this problem or know any causes?  

Thanks in advance
