That should read: ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/kdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure Before you change that though, try it from the command line. As root, type: kdm -nodaemon This should start kdm and you can try to log in. If that works then switch to the console you started kdm from, ie., Alt-Ctrl-F1 and then Ctrl-C to stop the kdm process. After you have made the change to /etc/ttys you can type (as root): kill -1 1 This will restart init and rescan your /etc/ttys file so there is no need to reboot. It has been a long time since I have used kdm but I do remember there being some problem with the authdir but it seems like you may have already solved that one. -- Glenn Johnson USDA, ARS, SRRC Phone: (504) 286-4252 New Orleans, LA 70124 e-mail: gjohnson@nola.srrc.usda.gov To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
