Does anyone know if adding ttyv9 "/usr/local/bin/kdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure but leaving ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure intact would cause any conflict? This would be a lot for most systems, I'm sure, and probably not realistic for a typical system, but I'm curious whether the display managers would conflict.
