This doesn't affect POLA or launch from /etc/ttys at all. You must define in /etc/rc.conf: XDM_ENABLE=3Dyes XDM_PROGRAM=3D/usr/local/bin/kdm before this can launch kdm. the main goal is a way to share a launch method between gdm/kdm/xdm. Also, have a easy way of cope with http://www.kde.org/areas/sysadmin/=20 without touching kde packages. The only I request from kde@ are some advice in web or pkg-message. =20 This doesn't deprecate launch of kdm from /etc/ttys. =2D- josemi
