Thanks to all who replied. I not only want to thank everyone, but also post my
ultimate solution--in case others encounter the same problem in the future.
Indeed, I found S99xdm in /etc/rc#.d where # = 2, 3, 4, 5. The file is a
script, not a link. So, I chose to:
1. Delete S99xdm in /etc/rc2

bsetroot is the command blackbox uses. You can use ANYTHING that changes the
background however. Place a pic there, use xsetroot, etc. Gives themes.org a
peek.

Hi Bill,
I had the opposite happen to me!
I did a slink install & potato upgrade on a Dell Lattitude A300 - the xdm
script runs but doesn't run!
I then get a regular tty from which to "startx". Not a problem, but
interesting that we had the opposite requirements and initial results!
I must say

Because it is actually "netstat -anp" that will (also) list the
services. The reason for using nmap is that it is a popular tool
for ... mapping other's people machines. As such, you may want to

Thank you Gareth. I certainly will improve that article as time
allows. Please feel free to actively contribute to it. If explicit
text is sent to me, I will include it in the new version, and your
name will appear in the list of contributors.
Thank's again.
All the best,
Sergio
It's quite a useful document, certainly. I've only got one comment on it,
which is to explain what the changes are that are being made: i.e.
disabling tcp listening for X means that you can't run remote X sessions from
the machine blah blah, but that crackers can't blah blah.
It just makes it cl

I think you have 2 options:
1. remove xdm
2. find your default runlevel in /etc/inittab (most likely 2) and rename
/etc/rc2.d/S99xdm to /etc/rc2.d/K01xdm (where '2' can be replaced by your
default runlevel).

A judicious 'exit' statement in /etc/init.d/xdm will return the console
login to you, if you don't want to remove the xdm package altogether
(which is possibly the better solution if you're planning to use kdm).
You can find which files a package provides using `dpkg -L xdm`.
