If you're running slink, the file you want is /etc/X11/xdm/xdm.options. man xdm.options for more information about this file. Note that the "start-xdm" option has been eliminated. It is assumed that if you install the xdm package, you want it to run. So if you want it to not start a local X server, edit /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers per my other mail. And yes, there is a way to quit the X server while using xdm without it automatically bringing back the xdm login screen. <CTRL-R> This instructs xdm to stop managing that server, and is documented in the xdm manpage, though admittedly it's pretty far in. -- G.
