I wasn't the one who said to reboot. If you read my original post to the list, you'll see I just cut/pasted from someone else's advice. Even though I do use M$ products, I also use FreeBSD and Solaris. Personally, I'm not a fan of rebooting either. -Otter }-----Original Message----- }From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG }[mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Volker Stolz }Sent: Friday, October 06, 2000 10:15 AM }To: Otter }Cc: Ben_Calvert@amsinc.com; freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG; }freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG }Subject: Re: X for login prompt? } } }On Thu, Oct 05, 2000 at 06:37:26PM -0400, Otter wrote: }> }edit the file /etc/ttys and change this line: }> } }> }ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure }> } }> }to read: }> } }> }ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure }> }Then, after you've saved that file, reboot." } }A simple "kill -HUP 1" is sufficient to tell init to reconfigure. }How come everyone always wants to reboot these days :) }[Your quoting-style is ... strange?] }-- }Volker Stolz * stolz@i2.informatik.rwth-aachen.de * PGP + S/MIME } } }To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org }with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
