it can also be done with the kdm Xservers file usually /opt/kde/share/config/kdm/Xservers. :0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt7 :1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 vt8 The second line sets the Xserver to vt8 but it can be any number that is not used by a console (getty) session. If using Portsentry free up its binding to port tcp 6001 in portsentry.conf as the second Xserver requires this port. In the same directory is "kdmrc" which has options to prevent users shutting down the machine using kdm. ## "Core Config for Local Displays" section. AllowShutdown=Root kdmrc is edited by the kde control centre "Logon Manager" tool. -- keith.
