Richard,

it's exactly my problem.  Before your mail, I have talked to the Sun people,
and they told me that was a proplem of the xdm from MIT X11R4.  I have
modified the xdm code myself (exactly the same lines that you told)
and it work well.  But now then I know that was corrected in the X11R5,
I will use the xdm from X11R5.

P.S.: Excuse my english, I'm not biligual...
