As per the bug you filed, xdm does not support it. Auto-login is "glitz", and there is no need for it in such a bare-bones display manager. Install kdm if you want auto-login; gdm may do it, too. -- Daniel Stone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.kde.org - http://www.debian.org - http://www.xwin.org "Configurability is always the best choice when it's pretty simple to implement" -- Havoc Pennington, gnome-list pgpeGxRzOhuhB.pgp Description: PGP signature

I think xdm does not support this. If you really don't want to install dm that supports this, you may not use xdm at all, instead make your system to run something like su username /usr/X11R6/bin/startx on the end of boot sequence.

What about su -c "/usr/bin/X11/startx /usr/bin/icewm" username instead of xdm in the init script? MfG, Eduard.
