Hello everybody, I'm new to BSD, so please bear with me if I ask a dumb question. Thanks! --- I am trying to set up XDM. I want it to drop me in to a minimal TWM session after I log in. Right now, it just flashes the screen and puts me back at the login window. >From what I read in the handbook, there are a few configuration files in /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm that I need to change to get it to sing and dance in the way I want it to. If I remember correctly, it was Xsession that controlled what happened after a user logs in. Right now it is just an if/then loop that looks like it runs /usr/local/bin/xsm. Is that whole thing necessary? Can't I just tell it to run TWM? And if that loop is necessary, where would I add my bit for starting TWM? Google has been ZERO help. Many thanks in advance.
