I installed it from the ports and if I start it manually, it starts all right. But what I want to do is start it as an xdm replacement. I went through the init and ttys manpages, but no matter what line I put into /etc/ttys, I always get the error 'getty repeating too quickly..'. init(8) says that this is because login.app is quickly exiting each time it is started. xdm starts ok however, if I use the line that came with /etc/ttys. I'd be happy if anyone pasted me his line from /etc/ttys to start login.app automatically as an xdm replacement. thx in advance, Tobe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
