This is a really bad idea - "xdm -nodaemon" seems to have weird bugs which can result in thousands of xdm's being spawned if someone does an X -indirect to your machine. Besides rc.local is the right sort of place for this to happen. I'm suffering from the same problem, but putting sshd before xdm in rc.local seems to provide enough of a delay. Could this be related to the new console driver stuff? David. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
