Hi There,
I've been using FreeBSD for the past three months now i'm still in new
grounds and haven't had the chance to get my feet to wet. A problem
occured to me two days ago after i killed the x server i couldn't log
back in through the xfree86 login screen.  It would just keep bring me
back to the same screen.  So I booted into the shell and ran my server
from there.  However since the X server was still running after i killed it, 
i killed xdm was that a bad thing? i know its the x display manager but i 
was guessing after a reboot it would of started itself back up.  Now i keep 
getting this message after i "shutdown -r now" i get this message after its 
loading up at the very end:

"Dec 20 00:45:40 unixpros init: getty repeating to quickly no
port /dev/ttyv8, sleeping 30 seconds.  So i hit ctrl c and login through the 
shell again.  Then i get the same messages in my terminal:
unixpros init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv8. sleeping
30 secs.  That messages appears every 2mins or so.  So when i type:
startx to start the x server from the terminal i then get this message:
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libXpm.so.4" not found
(==) R128(0): Write-combinig range (0xa0000,0x10000) was already clear.

Please any help would be greatly apperciate i'm only 17 and still
learning.  I run an opennap server usuall i execute the
command: "opennap -b" to start opennap in the background says command not
found and nor does it reconize opennap.

Once again any help would be greatly apperciated.
