Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG After re-installing FreeBSD 4.0 (because I had some library problems), I add the line: DisplayManager._0.authName: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 to my xdm-config file. To allow X logins for users but root. This after reading it in one of this e-mail (18 Apr. 2000). Now when I login as root and than startx XDM there is no problem. But when I put XDM in the rc.local file to start it automatically, (following the book, 3rd edition) it just seems to ignore the keyboard, even Ctrl-Alt-F1..8 for a new non grafic login is't possible. The system still works, NFS shares and Samba are still hot, but my only choice is to remote login and reboot. Hoping for an anwser.
