Erm, I'd like to correct this before anyone gets confused. I meant to say that in order to get xdm (followed by x session) to work correctly with a securelevel > 0, one needs to start xdm, and _then_ raise the securelevel. This worked fine for me, anyways. Really caused me a lot of confusion, though, the first time the machine rebooted. I couldn't figure out why X was bombing upon startup; it was because the securelevel was being raised before X was starting. -- Frank Tobin "To learn what is good and what is to be www.neverending.org/~ftobin valued, those truths which cannot be shaken or changed."
