Hi, Siegbert:
  Thanks for the reply. No, KDM works fine. The
message is annoying since I log console messages to
/var/log/console.log. 
  But can you please point me to how kdm was called
(who uses /etc/ttys and call these getty programs)? A
pointer to the source code or a script? I would either
fix kdm or write a wrapper to get rid of that.

thanx,
ed
