yup many times :-( when I try kdm start it tells me that kdm is already running and ps -ef confirms that. when I try kdm stop;kdm start the screen goes blank and the machine is completely unresponsive for a _considerable_ time (this delay was always there, even when kdm was working). In kdm.log there is nothing amiss, but syslog reports: Jan 25 06:29:27 solaris syslogd 1.4.1#17: restart.
