In mandrake 10.1 (and maybe others), the way to go is quite easy (if you understand shell scripts)
I give a (quite) thorough howto for newbies (not for you), because newbie I once was and will be again when I change my distro... :) So if there is too much information, just skip what you know and don't be offended. You must edit /etc/sysconfig/desktop and change the line DISPLAYMANAGER=your_actual_dm_identifier to DISPLAYMANAGER=entrance or the word you want to select entrance then you must hack /etc/X11/prefdm and see what's done for kdm (or gdm), make a copy/paste and make the appropriate changes : replace the identifiers used for kdm to those you want to select entrance (including the one you used in /etc/sysconfig/desktop...) warning, the name of the login manager is entranced, not just entrance so you must use preferred=entranced One last thing : at the top of this file, the PATH variable is overwritten, make sure your entranced binary is accessible using it ! I just wasted hours for such a stupid detail I didn't notice... To achieve this you can append the location of entranced to the path or make a logical link to it from one of the folders using ln -s /yourpath/entranced /destinationpath with /usr/sbin as your destination path for instance (entranced is not to be launched by users...) I hope it can help ! GBX ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
