Hi,

I think I have an answer to why my prefdm was being killed off and thus
having the system drop to text mode instead of restarting X when you
logoff.

I tracked it down to the samba rc file /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb 

if killall -0 cupsd 2>/dev/null; then
  ( sleep 60 &  killproc smbd -HUP ) &
fi
       
If I comment out the "( sleep 60 & killproc smbd -HUP ) &" line then
prefdm does not get killed off. I'm not sure how bash deal with invoking
an internal function which was included from /etc/init.d/functions as a
sub process. But I can tell you that when my system boots it does try to
call this function but it never gets executed.


Hope this helps


Brent
