Dear experts,

(I'm new to FreeBSD, but used to run NEXTSTEP a while ago. I recently 
installed FreeBSD 4.4-R on an i386 system.)

If I change /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm to /usr/local/bin/kdmdesktop, I get an 
ordinary shell with messages like (date omitted):
"desktop init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv8, sleeping 
30 secs"
What do I have to do to get kdm running? I don't find anything in the 
provided KDE documentation.

I also can't run kcontrol from a terminal after I've become root (in any 
environment), nor does Control Center>System>Login Manager>Modify>Run as 
root succeed, nor does Clock>Adjust Date & Time>Run as root 
("Conversation with su failed.", "BAD SU rfschtkt to root on /dev/ttyp6").

Help?
