Re: XDM with Debian 1.3E6
Perhaps this is the shadow password thing. Try shadowconfig off then shadowconfig on. On Sat, 28 Mar 1998, Carroll Kong wrote: Hi guys, I have returned to the list, had to get my processor fixed.

Re: XDM with Debian 1.3E6
Whoa... big problems. I checked my /etc/init.d/xdm... it is a zero byte file. Apparently, when I installed the system, I never setup xdm. Is there some kind of setup script to get xdm on my system working again? I have shadowed passwords... and I am looking for a package called xdm, but there does not seem to be any. Thanks!

See whether there is another file named xdm.dpkg-something that isn't empty. If there is, rename it to xdm and see if that helps. You can reinstall xbase more easily than with dselect by finding the package file and just running `dpkg -i xbase_whatever.deb'. -- Carey Evans http://home.clear.net.nz/pages/c.evans/ GNU GPL: The Source will be with you... always. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
