Hi Joe,<br>
<br>
If you are asking how to get kdm going as a login manager, this is what I did on my Debian "Etch"<br>
<br>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">dpkg-reconfigure kdm<br>
</div>
<br>
This will set kdm as the login/display manager ... rather than gdm or xdm.<br>
<br>
In KDE, if you want to allow root logins from the kdm login screen you must edit the following:<br>
<br>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;"> /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc<br>
</div>
<br>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">[General]<br>

I
am running suse 10 with kde for my desktop and using nis for
authentication. The problem I'm having is when I login through kdm I
get the error could not start kstartupconfig check your installation.
The strange thing is that if I login as root then su - user it
authenticates me just fine pulls my home directory from the nis server
and all is good. The other thing is that if I choose
windowmaker or anything but kde I can login fine then after that
successfull login I can use kde as my desktop. After
searcing the internet the kstartupconfig error seems to mostly come up
from problems with the users home directory, but I dont really
understand why this works on the commandline and why kde works after
one successfull login using another windowmanager. Hope that
makes some sense.<br><br>Joe<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota<br><a href="mailto:tclug-list@mn-linux.org">tclug-list@mn-linux.org</a><br><a href="http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list">
