I tried to remove the directories that was not removed by deinstall manually, and then installed again, now no complaints about not being able to uninstall I can now start gdm again, with out any complaints, but when I run sockstat I cannot see gdm-binary active nor any listen on udp 177. Any suggestions? In /usr/local/etc/gdm/custum.conf I have only [xdmcp] Enable=true Port=177 /Klaus _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
