Subject: Re: Problems Restarting xdm
Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG
Precedence: bulk
X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG

Booting with xdm-pid existing causes xdm to not start.  Cleaning-up
xdm-pid in my (obsolete) /etc/rc.local and then starting xdm resolves
the problem.  I guess one of these days I wll change over to rc.d.
But, rc.local works...

I should have read more about xdm before talking about the log file.
I did read the man page, but, not looking for the log file location.
It is a good man page.

I see quite a few questions about starting xdm.  I think the
difference between the FreeBSD FAQ and the XFree86 README confuses
some people.

Thanks for the reply
