It's 1:30am and I'm brain fried from trying to figure this out... Please help if you can! I've got a Fedora Core 1 boxen (and others) that I'd like to have run KDM/GDM/XDM very early in the boot sequence. On all linux distros I've ever used the display manager is the LAST thing to start. I don't really care to watch cups, networking, etc. services starting up on my workstation (my servers are a different matter). Unless I do something stupid they always start and I'd really like to just get on with the business of logging and checking email while services start "in the background." I made an init script to run "/usr/bin/kdm -daemon" and it works. All goes well until /bin/login is run, it immediately kills anything else attached to all tty's and I can't figure out how to stop it. Short of a crude hack I did by putting an init scripts at S99 that does a read (to wait forever for input that will never come) how do I keep /bin/login from clobbering my display manager on tty7? I've read the manpage and googled for help but cannot find any. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -- Christopher A.
