Last time I checked, xdm's PAM "support" was seriously broken with respect 
to Kerberos and AFS (ccache created for and owned by root, PAG created in 
the daemon instead of the session leader --- the latter won't be noticeable 
unless you use xdmcp).  On the other hand, this was not stock xdm, it was 
someone's (Red Hat?) hack.
