Yup, I did this. In fact the patch file provided by ActivIdentity had this patch, but the script that invokes this patch did not apply it correctly. But the patch did not contain the line with PIDFILE and I didn't apply it either. Is this PIDFILE compulsory? In the default XDM file, only KDM and GDM have this PID line; WDM and XDM do not have it. Can you explain what this line is for?
IIRC As far as I could work out this is used to determine whether a process is running or not... this is the first parameter passed to startproc later on after the -p option... man startproc gives some more info.... (I have no idea what would happen if the -p option gets the executable as the pid file but I do not think it would be good...) but early on in the script this variable is set for xdm so I would think it a rather good idea to set it for the the ACDM module as a discrete PID file (it cannot do any harm, I cannot remember whether I found out that entranced crashed without it or not, and I had a fair few crashes getting this to work).
and (at approx line 125) I changed XDMOPTIONS which should contain the X options required by the ACDM binary to load... (and local environment setting may need to be included at this point)... BTW check whether the ACDM requires any hardware modules to be loaded, if this is the case, at this point you could insert a test to see if the module is loaded and either wait for the module to load or load the module...
if [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = "/opt/gnome/sbin/gdm" -a \ "$DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS" = "yes" -a \ "$DISPLAYMANAGER_STARTS_XSERVER" = "no" ]; then XDMOPTIONS="--no-console" fi
+ if [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = "/usr/sbin/entranced" ]; then + XDMOPTIONS="-nodaemon" + fi
Does this look anything like what you did?
Well, the patch file and the documentation do not have anything to say about the XDMOPTIONS. It appears that only GDM has XDMOPTIONS set. How does XDMOPTIONS affect XDM and the display manager that is loading?
This is variable is where options for the executable (rather the startproc) are passed if you have none you do not need pass any... entranced required -nodaemon (never did find out exactly what the option was supposed to do, e17 docs tend to be a bit thin on the ground)
Finally set the DISPLAYMANAGER setting in the YaST sysconfig editor to whatever you choose to tag ACDM as...
Did that. Naively thought that would be the only thing to change.
ditto first time tound...

If you need this for SLED 10 SP1, we have done some test packages, please contact Novell.

The OS is SLED10 SP1, not 10.3. Pardon my ignorance, which contact point for Novell should I approach? My local office is unable to help me much here.
