Hi,

cons25 and xterm are terminal emulations not programs. AFAIK there is no
terminal emulation called kterm so the line should be:

ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/kdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure

I once tried:

ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/kdm -nodaemon" xterm-color off secure

as this would be nice to have for all X applications using coloured fonts. But
somewhere in the process from kdm to X applications on your desktop this is
reset to "xterm", so "xterm-color" won't be effective in /etc/ttys. You have
to set it by the normal means of your shell environment (.profile,
.cshrc,...).

Ciao
Siegbert
