This was true on Debian 2.0 and under. With Debian 2.1 the setup for xdm changed drastically and xdm was put in its own package. Thus it assumes that if you have xdm installed you want it started, there is no option to set to disable it at boot up. . See /usr/doc/xdm/README.Debian on a 2.1 or greater system. >From above file: Upgraders from Debian GNU/Linux 2.0 or earlier should be aware that the /etc/X11/config file is no longer used; its xdm-specific options are now in /etc/X11/xdm/xdm.options. -- Brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis ---------------------------------------------------------------------
