Hi

I was trying to get login.app running, not completely successful. 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
