XDM (Wikipedia page,) also known as the X Display Manager, is an application that typically starts at system startup, and presents a graphical login screen. Once a user successfully logs in, their X session begins.

install

   Note

make sure your x11 is working properly before attempting to use xdm

configure

xdm is often paired with other, more modern display managers. see:

init

root # rc-update add xdm
root # rc
