If I remember correctly, all you need to do for xdm is modify the line for ttyv8 in /etc/ttys : ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure Change the off to on, and your xdm should work. Of course, some desktop environments have their own login manager which can be optionally used. For gnome, put 'gnome_enable="YES"' and for kde, 'kdm4_enable="YES"' in /etc/rc.conf. But xdm should work for you; it is the DE independent login manager. Regards Manish Jain
