By default (in my /etc/ttys) on ttyv8 there is an xdm-Daemon configured I think: ttyv6 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure ttyv7 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure #ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure (I changed it to "on" because I want to start xdm at boot).=20 > Since you're still getting that error message, you obviously didn't > succeed at turning off the getty.
