Hi, after a time working with my xdm script (/etc/rc.d/0xdm) I think it's time to go send-pr In the actual status, I don't feel too much confortable with the xdm script in the base system of HEAD, so I think the good way maybe add ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d/${script}.sh and make this use etc/rc.subr. My actual candidates are: As part of client packages: ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d/xdm.sh XDM_ENABLE [No] | YES XDM_PROGRAM [${X11BASE}/bin/xdm] | ${X11BASE}/bin/gdm | ${LOCALBASE}/bin/kdm As part of server packages: ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d/000.x11tmp.sh X11_TMP_CLEAN [YES] | NO iDon't install any script with x11/gdm2 and print instructions to use XDM_ENABLE and XDM_PROGRAM to make gdm launch. The move will end with instructions in x11/kdebase3 pkg-message to use same vars. Also noted that going to scripts (actual gdm and future xdm) can generate race conditions between init gettys and xdm. The safe option I found is use fixed vts with xdm Xserver (vt9), but I'm not sure how do that with gdm Any comments on this are welcome. -- josemi
