Whoa... big problems. I checked my /etc/init.d/xdm... it is a zero byte file. Apparently, when I installed the system, I never setup xdm. Is there some kind of setup script to get xdm on my system working again? I have shadowed passwords... and I am looking for a package called xdm, but there does not seem to be any. Thanks!
