I don't think it should be... On my system, it shows up as /usr/bin/X11/xdm. Try "ps -a | grep -i xdm | grep -v grep" and see what it gives you. There is also a hot key on newer kernels (which I conveniently forgot, sorry) that will dump a listing of the kernel process table to the console. IF you start xdm with "/etc/init.d/xdm start", you should be able to stop it with "/etc/init.d/xdm stop". In fact, that might work even if you didn't (I haven't tried) -- Buddha Buck [EMAIL PROTECTED] "She was infatuated with their male prostitutes, whose members were like those of donkeys and whose seed came in floods like that of stallions." -- Ezekiel 23:20
