Starting xdm via /etc/ttys is a Bad Thing.
in /usr/src/etc/ttys:
ttyv3 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure
nothing about xdm in /usr/src/etc/rc.local
>How-To-Repeat:
take a lock in the src-tree
>Fix:
Change line 14 in /usr/src/etc/ttys
from: ttyv3 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure
to: ttyv3 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 off secure
Add this to rc.conf:
# path for xdm
XDMP=/usr/X11R6/bin
# set to YES to start xdm
xdm_start=NO
Add this to rc.local:
# xdm
if [ X${xdm_start} = X"YES" -a -x $XDMP/xdm ]; than
echo -n " xdm"
$XDMP/xdm
sleep 1
fi
