Well, you can either add a line to /etc/rc.local: /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm Or you can make a change in /etc/ttys: /dev/ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure (in fact, this line is probably already in /etc/ttys; just change the "off" to "on"). However, simply making XDM start at boot is not enough. You must do some configuration beforehand, or you will end up mighty confused. There was an article in the January 2000 edition of Daemon News <http://www.daemonnews.org/>; about XDM; you might consider looking there. And say hi to the author for me. Good luck.
