Hi Bjorn, Ok, so...
Here's the pertinent part of my inittab - it looks like the very last line is what you were talking about - so I should comment this out? # Run xdm in runlevel 5 # xdm is now a separate service x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/kdm I take it the 5 is 5 minutes? Thanks!

Maybe one is started from /etc/rc2.d/S99xdm or similar, and the other is started directly from an /etc/inittab entry. The ten tries every five minutes sounds like init is trying to start something that spawns too fast, so it disables it for a few minutes before trying again. _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
