Brett, if you can, change that file back to its original contents. IIRC, you simply need to edit this line in /etc/ttys: ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure Change it to read: ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/kdm" xterm on secure This should start everything for you! I'm going to test it now to be sure, but I think that's right. HTH -- Eric F Crist Keep your pecker hard and your powder dry, and the world WILL turn.
