The only mention there is that: ********************************************************************************Note that your system uses syslog. All of kdm's internally generated messages
(i.e., not from libraries and external programs/scripts it uses) go to thedaemon.* syslog facility; check your syslog configuration to find out to which file(s) it is logged. PAM logs messages related to authentication to authpriv.*.
********************************************************************************A grep for kdm in /var/log/* reveals nothing bar the messages above in syslog.
Note that I can start X ok and run ordinary applications like xterm, kde etc.
in /etc/init.d if I try ./kdm start it tells me that kdm is already runing and a ps -ef | grep kdm confirms this, but I have no kdm login. If I try ./kdm restart it reports that it has restarted, but the ps -ef | grep kdm reports on kdm processes running and again, no kdm login.
All I am stuck for is the kdm login. thanks a lot. Joe
