>Originator:     Parag Patel
>Release:        FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT i386
>Organization:
CodeGen, Inc.
>Environment:

	X11R6/XFree86 3.3.3.1 from FreeBSD 3.1 March 1999 CD-ROM
	entire kde-1.1 package also installed from same CD

>Description:

	kdm 1.1 seems to be either failing to expand the string XBINDIR,
	or it was compiled with the string instead of the actual path.
	The net result is that whenever kdm is executed, it complains
	that it can't execute xrdb:

	    kdm: can't execute "XBINDIR/xrdb" (err 2)
	
	If I go ahead and login anyway, it cannot fire up the session
	properly.

	The earlier kdm-1.0 worked fine, as does the latest xdm.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Simply run kdm instead of xdm from /etc/ttys.

>Fix:
	
	Not sure if it's a runtime or a compile time problem.  Sorry.
