Here are some additional infos regarding my problem with xdm under FreeBSD 4.0 RELEASE. Here is the result of 'uname -a' FreeBSD greatoak.home 4.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE #4: Fri May 19 19:02:23 CEST 2000 root@greatoak:/usr/src/sys/compile/GREATOAK i386 with XFree86 3.3.6 packaged on the CDRom. Today I have noticed that I have to wdm processes: (as root)# ps -xo pid,ppid,command PID PPID COMMAND 0 0 (swapper) 1 0 /sbin/init -- 167 1 /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon ttyv8 170 167 /usr/X11R6/bin/X -auth /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/authdir/authfiles/A:0 171 167 /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon ttyv8 If I kill the first one (pid 167) then I can logon!! (but I have no login screen when I exit) If I set the terminal to off in /etc/ttys, I have no xdm at all! Why is there two xdm whereas in my 3.3 installation I have only one?
