Hi, people. When I log in my system using a console terminal my aliases, locales sets and variables (stored in /etc/profile) work fine. I start X and they're still valid till I log out. When I boot my system with runlevel 2 (starts xdm) and use xdm to log in, these prefferences doesn't work anymore. How could I log in using xdm and use my /etc/profile definitions correctly in a clean way? Taupter
