I'm probably missing something basic here, but thought I'd ask 
anyway..  I got xdm up and running (finally), but when I login as a 
user (or root), my .xsession as I have it set starts up an xterm -ls -C ...
This is all fine, but the system doesn't seem to accept the user as being 
logged in at that point.  Shouldn't the user be "logged on to console"?  
If I do something like ftp somewhere from that xterm, the suggested 
username ftp suggests upon connect is "root" (no matter what user I log 
in as)  What am I missing to have xdm register a user as logging in?
