The version of FreeBSD is 6.1-RELEASE-p10 #0. I am starting in in debug mode. It is using kdm as a login screen. The corresponding line in /etc/ttys is ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/kdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure The problem is: when I type the username and password and try to login it returns me to the login screen again. I am 100% sure that I use correct passwords since I changed them for a couple of accounts. I am able to login from the text terminals. There are two suspicious messages when the machine is booted. The first one is: Information: reading old kdmrc /usr/local/share/config/kdm/kdmrc (from kde >= 2.2.x) Information: old kdmrc is from kde >= 3.1 (config version 2.3) The second one is: kdm_config[543]: Host "" not found and it is repeated four times with a different gibberish text. I googled for these errors but found nothing. I would be very grateful for any advice or pointers. Regards Rambius -- Tangra Mega Rock: http://www.radiotangra.com
