Thanks for writing. I'm not sure what table you are referring too. But xdm is not running as shown by ps -a. And using the xdm script in init.d does nothing too. The xdm-errors file is empty. As you can tell, I did investigate the problem to the limits of my knowledge before I asked the list. I suspect it to be an internal problem of xdm or a function of some not comman setting I'm missing.
By the way, kdm does the same thing. On Thu, 6 Aug 1998, Paul McDermott wrote: >Hello, first is xdm started, is there an xdm process in the table?
