Is it because xdm and getty are possibly started on different processors? What difference sould running xdm on the background make? The problem seems to occur when /etc/rc.local completes execution whether or not xdm is executed from rc.local. That is, I tried setting up /etc/ttys as tyv3 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure with an empty /etc/rc.local and still got the lockup. Wouldn't that setup avoid the getty conflict? I am admittedly confused.. -Rich To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message
