The message comes from running "genkdmconf" to update your KDM configuration. The latest KDE has installed /usr/local/etc/rc.d/genkdmconf.sh which runs the "real" genkdmconf in update mode every time you boot. I'm not exactly sure why this is necessary, since the files really only need to be updated if/when you've changed your configuration or upgraded KDE. If the messages bother you, move (or remove) genkdmconf.sh from rc.d. Personally, since I now know the messages' origin I'll just ignore them. Later, Micah
