Ported parts of 905_debian_xdm.diff. Some changes are now done through
configure flags

* config/Xservers.ws.in
- add comments to help local admins
- run local server with TCP listening turned off for security
* config/Xsession.in: replace guts with simple call to Debian's Xsession
script
* config/xdm-config.in:
- Supply a simpler default configuration, so that no matter what X server
number is used, people get the same results.

Updated in 2025 from 2011 version to fit the migration from xdm 1.1.11
to 1.1.17.		 Boyuan Yang <byang@debian.org> no 2025-12-08
doc_mention_xdm.options.diff Reference the Debian xdm.options manual page
Add the Debian-specific xdm.options(5) configuration reference to
the SEE ALSO section.


===================================================================		 not-needed
1000-fix-hurd-build.patch fix hurd build
The explicit function prototype definition lacks detection of hurd
platform, which causes incompatibility in compiling with getpwnam(3).
Recover the build by detecting __GNU__ macro as well.		 Boyuan Yang <byang@debian.org> no 2025-12-09
1001-do-not-log-unknown-usernames.patch Do not log unknown usernames on authentication failure
The login field may contain a password entered by mistake. Retain names
that resolve to an account, but replace unknown names with a fixed label.
Adapted by Boyuan Yang from the proposal in Debian bug #869773: check for
NULL before calling getpwnam, preserving the existing unavailable label.		 Julien Cristau <jcristau@debian.org> no debian 2017-07-28
1002-use-system-cursor-theme.patch Use the system default cursor theme
Remove the forced whiteglass theme so libXcursor can use the system
x-cursor-theme alternative. Administrators can still set Xcursor.theme
in /etc/X11/xdm/Xresources.

Adapted from Rich Wareham's patch carried by Ubuntu as
ubuntu_no_whiteglass.diff; the upstream template is now Xresources.in.		 Boyuan Yang <byang@debian.org> not-needed 2026-10-08
1003-fix-manpage-conditional-blocks.patch Use roff conditional blocks for random source resources
Avoid standalone ignore terminators being interpreted as undefined
requests when the associated ignore branch is not taken. Preserve the
resource selection for arc4random and random-device configurations.		 Boyuan Yang <byang@debian.org> no 2026-10-09
1004-enable-manpage-table-preprocessing.patch Request tbl preprocessing for the xdm manual page
The manual contains several TS/TE tables. Tell man to run tbl before
formatting them so table content renders correctly without warnings.		 Boyuan Yang <byang@debian.org> no 2026-10-09
