Hi,
> ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/kdm" xterm on secure
You're missing the -nodaemon option here. It should read:
ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/kdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure
Please note that if you're running:
kdebase-3.0_1 Base modules for the KDE integrated X11 desktop
kdelibs-3.0_1 Libraries for KDE
As packaged with RELEASE-4.6.2, you should start kdm from somewhere
else. Starting it from init(1) brings a problem with konsole. I use
this in rc.local:
( sleep 45 ; /usr/local/bin/kdm ) &
echo -n ' kdm'
[The 45 second sleep depends on how much are you starting from
/usr/local/etc/rc.d -- this should happen after all you plain text
console(4) getty's start.]

Kdm doesn't like the tty argument as passed from init(1). Here's a
patch for that problem:

if (sp->se_getty_argv == 0) {
IMO there should be an elegant way to let init(1) know which programs
expect this argument, possibly with an option in /etc/ttys, or have a
wrapper script around kdm to avoid this.
