% -r-xr-x--x  1 root  wheel    81 Aug 30 18:29 kdm.sh*
% sold@mero-13a[local/etc/rc.d]> cat kdm.sh
% #!/bin/sh
% if [ -x /usr/local/bin/kdm ] ; then

% fi


Hmmm...

I'd put the exact path to kdm as such:

#!/bin/sh
if [ -x /usr/local/bin/kdm ] ; then
   #sleep for some time to give getty a chance to grab its ttys   
   echo -n " kdm"; 
   sleep 12;  
   /usr/local/bin/kdm 2>&1 > /var/log/kdm.startup &
fi

maybe he's just having problems finding it? :)
