Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG > Also you must have an .xsession file for EVERY user who will log in. No, if you're using xdm it's sufficient to have a global Xsession file in the xdm config directory (/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/ I think). You can even specify different kinds of sessions in this file (fvwm, kde, failsafe etc) and kdm has a pulldown menu on its login screen which lets you choose which session you want. The user need not have a .xsession file. In fact it makes no sense in our situation: we have NIS accounts with various machines, some of which run CDE and some KDE/GNOME/other free stuff, and an .xsession file will mean you can't log into some machines.
