XDM Authorization Problem

I am trying to turn xdm authorization on and have a couple of questions.
I am running X11R4 on a Sun 4/150 running 4.0.3 of the SunOS.

Running xdm with the -debug 2 option indicates that the 
/usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xresources file is not being read. There are no error
messages, but the values for some of the resources listed in the debug output
do not correspond to those listed in the Xresources file. I have checked that 
the xdm-config file is being read and does point to the right Xresource file
(/usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xresources). So I have 2 questions:

1) If Xresources the right place to define the authorization resources
   (DisplayManager*authorize, et.al.) ?
2) How do I go about trouble shooting the problem with the Xresources file
   not being read? I eve nstripped it down to 1 line that should work
   but no luck.

I am using NCD X terminals as well.

Thanks.
