useradd -m <username> creates the home directory as well.
Well, maybe the new users have to be in a specific group. Here on my
machine, Yast puts them in audio, dialout, uucp and wheel, by default. Did
you check if group memberships are the same for Yast- and useradd-created
users?
Another place to look may be the Xacces files. I have one
in /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess and another one
in /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/Xaccess . Maybe Yast modifies them when it
detects that XDMCP connections are allowed (which are disabled by default,
as they say in /etc/X11/xdm/README.security).
Finally, the Yast perl sources might help elucidate the magic behind its
behavior. ;)
Just guessing...
Kind regards,
Michael
