an update of port x11/xdm overwrites user modified configuration, in particular, xdm-config file, typically /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config In particular, this line: ! SECURITY: do not listen for XDMCP or Chooser requests ! Comment out this line if you want to manage X terminals with xdm !DisplayManager.requestPort: 0 becomes uncommented, and all existing connections are cut. Is it possible to modify this default behaviour, e.g. by comparing new xdm-config with the existing one, and if they differ install the new one into xdm-config.new, or something? Or perhaps ask the user what is to be done about this? Or at least preserve the existing xdm-config in xdm-config.old before installing the new file? Or perhaps I'm missing something very simple? many thanks anton -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 928 8233 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423
