In the future, little details like that might be helpful to include ;-).

Here's a config file for xdm under pam.

#%PAM-1.0
auth       required	/lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok
auth       required	/lib/security/pam_nologin.so
account    required	/lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
password   required	/lib/security/pam_cracklib.so
password   required	/lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok use_authtok
session    required	/lib/security/pam_pwdb.so

Save it as /etc/pam.d/xdm.  Note that I have no idea if RedHat's Sparc
xdm has been patched for pam support, so this file may not help you at
all.

later,
chris
