What's the proper way to start xdm at boot time?

I created /usr/local/etc/rc.d/start_xdm.sh with this inside:
#!/bin/sh
xdm

But it has two problems:

1) root doesn't get a proper environment - it can't find the sbin directory

2) my user account always gets xconsole running when it logs in. This 
doesn't happen if I log in as root and then run xdm
