I only had 2 responses, one from Dan Stromberg <strombrg@uci.edu>
regarding xauth security and xdm, the other from mikell@cactus.org
(Mikell Vanderlaan) stating that xdm dumps core for him.
The solution came from Sun's answerline service, which has been extremely
helpfull, both on this issue and others!
This is a bug in the Solaris 2.1 xdm, bug id 1102326 and it has a
preliminary patch. Sun mailed me the patch, I have tested it and it has
been working just fine for a while now. As yet, there is no patch ID
assigned, so if you need it, you'll have to reference the bug id.
