Presumably, you installed xdm after installing shadow. shadowconfig edits /etc/init.d/xdm to switch between using xdm and xdm-shadow, so all you need to do is: shadowconfig off shadowconfig on and all should be well. Cheers, Phil. P.S. I have a feeling the NIS problem appears under 2.0.30 kernels and downgrading to 2.0.29 should fix it --- don't know why though. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
