You're talking about policy, Jose talks about features. >From a feature point of view: you don't have to use it. If you feel more comfortable to use /etc/ttys, you're still free to use it (with or without the work of Jose going officially into FreeBSD). I see an improvement here: we're starting most programs/services from (LOCALBASE)/etc/rc.d/, why should we make an exception for [xkg]dm? Exceptions are not good for new users. It's also more easy to start and stop with a rc.d script than with /etc/ttys (less characters to type). You may not need to start/stop it often, but when you have to, it's IMO more comfortable. Bye, Alexander. BTW.: Before I switched to gdm, I've used a start-script for xdm since a long time... maybe 3 or 4 years. -- http://www.Leidinger.net/ Alexander @ Leidinger.net: PGP ID = B0063FE7 http://www.FreeBSD.org/ netchild @ FreeBSD.org : PGP ID = 72077137
