Not sure if this issue has been resolved, but I found that the 'Xstartup' file is missing from the xorg install of xdm ( /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm ). I found I needed this file to get xdm to properly login. If not, xdm will not allow remote connection to connect. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
