Sorry but the mail's bit longish... On Tue, Jun 20, 2000 at 12:55:04AM +0200, Siegbert Baude wrote: | > Are you starting kdm from /etc/ttys?

It has to be: | | ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/kdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure Oops! I cut and pasted the entry from the /etc/ttys which isn't being any longer used. When I was experimenting with the kdm, the entry was as you said. That gave the following error messages: Jun 20 11:10:37 mercury kdm: extra arguments on command line: Jun 20 11:10:37 mercury kdm: "ttyv8" Jun 20 11:10:37 mercury kdm: Jun 20 11:10:37 mercury kdm[297]: Cannot open server authorization file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/authdir/A:0-uMl297 Jun 20 11:10:40 mercury kdm[308]: can't execute "XBINDIR/xrdb" (err 2) Jun 20 11:10:41 mercury /kernel: pid 307 (kdm), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) Jun 20 11:10:41 mercury kdm[297]: Unknown session exit code 35584 from process 3 07 The permissions of /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/authdir are 700 and owned by root.wheel and the file A:0-uMl297 is created (I suppose) at each invocation of xdm. | So init will start your kdm.

The xdm started fine and I could also login (ie. the xdm didn't crib about invalid login etc) but the xdm login dialog came back. The error in .xsession-errors: Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server /usr/X11R6/bin/wmaker fatal error: could not open display ":0" something to do with xauthorization again :( I tried something else too: since kdm was cribbing about extra argument, I wrote kdm.sh which had just #!/usr/local/bin/bash /usr/local/bin/kdm -nodaemon and the entry in /etc/ttys ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/kdm.sh" xterm on secure This gave the following errors: Jun 20 15:23:28 mercury kdm[359]: can't execute "XBINDIR/xrdb" (err 2) Jun 20 15:23:29 mercury /kernel: pid 356 (kdm), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) Jun 20 15:23:29 mercury kdm[344]: Unknown session exit code 35584 from process 356 For time being, I've given up. I'll probably put up another fight after a shady deadline this month end. chyrag. -- Chirag Kantharia <chyrag@slashetc.net> http://slashetc.net/chyrag/ GCS/IT d- s-:->: a?
