No, this isn't needed for desktop environments that have their own _enable flag for /etc/rc.conf (same for display managers). In ye olden days, /etc/ttys contained a line like ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure to start xdm. Things like gdm or slim do not require this anymore. And probably nobody (except maybe me) uses xdm nowadays... ;-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
