AFAIK there is no terminal emulation called kterm so the line should be: ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/kdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure I once tried: ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/kdm -nodaemon" xterm-color off secure as this would be nice to have for all X applications using coloured fonts. But somewhere in the process from kdm to X applications on your desktop this is reset to "xterm", so "xterm-color" won't be effective in /etc/ttys. You have to set it by the normal means of your shell environment (.profile, .cshrc,...).
