If I remember correctly, all you need to do for xdm is modify the line=20 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=20 can be optionally used. For gnome, put 'gnome_enable=3D"YES"' and for kde,= =20 'kdm4_enable=3D"YES"' in /etc/rc.conf. But xdm should work for you; it is=20 the DE independent login manager. Regards Manish Jain
