Hello!
Here are some additional infos regarding my problem with xdm under
FreeBSD 4.0 RELEASE.
Here is the result of 'uname -a'
FreeBSD greatoak.home 4.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE #4: Fri May 19 19:02:23 CEST 2000
root@greatoak:/usr/src/sys/compile/GREATOAK i386
with XFree86 3.3.6 packaged on the CDRom.
Today I have noticed that I have to wdm processes:
(as root)# ps -xo pid,ppid,command
PID PPID COMMAND
0 0 (swapper)
1 0 /sbin/init --
167 1 /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon ttyv8
170 167 /usr/X11R6/bin/X -auth /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/authdir/authfiles/A:0
171 167 /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon ttyv8
If I kill the first one (pid 167) then I can logon!! (but I have no
login screen when I exit)
If I set the terminal to off in /etc/ttys, I have no xdm at all!
Why is there two xdm whereas in my 3.3 installation I have only one?
