I poured through the docs and can't find a thing... Run "locate xdm" to find out where your copy of xdm is. Make sure that directory is in your path, or symlink xdm to a directory that is in your path. If you're using a shell that hashes the executable files on the path, you need to type "rehash". I know tcsh does this, I don't know about other shells. > Thanks a bunch, > > Mike > Ben The views expressed above are not those of the Worker's Compensation Board of Queensland, Australia.
