Re: XDM with Debian 1.3E6
Whoa... big problems. I checked my /etc/init.d/xdm... it is a zero byte
file. Apparently, when I installed the system, I never setup xdm. Is there
some kind of setup script to get xdm on my system working again? I have
shadowed passwords... and I am looking for a package called xdm, but there does
not seem to be any. Thanks!
