You can ignore the -g option. As long as the user that you specify in -u
has a default group (which it does), named is going to take the group from
that.

As for your problems with xdm, make sure that your box has a hostname set.
What is the output of 'hostname' ??  Second, make sure that your box'
hostname is in /etc/hosts and either defined with the correct IP (see
ifconfig), or 127.0.0.1. Once this is done, restart xdm, and you should be
ok.

      it till it moves, then encrypt it some more.
