xdm was started as a daemon by root on a sparcstation.  When logging in as any 
user, the message "This is an unsecure session" comes up instead of the 
"Welcome to the X window system".

The  logins are succsesfull, but xdm does not execute the $HOME/.xsession
script.

How can the session be made secure, and why won't xdm execute the 
$HOME.xsession?

Any help is appreciated!!!

	Robert.
