Re: XDM at Startup

[Bill Caskey <wcaskey@worldnet.att.net>]

I'm reposting an earlier message. When I received it, I was appalled at the
error I'd made. What was I thinking? S* and K* files are all links. Hence:

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 link. So, I chose to:

1.       Delete S99xdm in /etc/rc2.d, /etc/rc4.d, and /etc/rc5.d.
2.       I will attempt to create a S99kdm script (based on S99xdm) and put it in
/etc/rc5.d.
3.       Then, I will have the following defined run levels (which could
help if problems arise):

 r/l 2   tty login, command line interface
 r/l 3   Default to graphical XDM login with X starting with fvwm2.
 r/l 5   Default to graphical KDM login with KDE starting.

Thanks again everyone...
