RE: xdm

["Brian Morgan" <bmorgan@greenville.edu>]

I can't seem to find any file in /etc/X11 that has a line with "start-xdm"
in it.  X (and hence, xdm) is starting on boot.  Is there a way to change
that?  All I've done to make this happen was install the xdm package.  Also,
is there any way to quit the xserver while using xdm without it
automatically bringing back the xdm login screen (and hence starting X
again)?

Thanks for everyone's help.
