what login managers is there? I use kdm now but want to try out some others! one thing I really want to do is to clear my loginname so it's not there when I boot up my computer! is this possible with kdm, or the others?
Offline
gdm and xdm are a couple of others.
i can't tell you any features of them though because i login from console.

You can set this for kdm from the control centre-> login manager -> Users panel. Hide all of your users there and then go to the Convenience panel and make sure the preselected user is nobody.

if you are into really beautiful, but still kinda buggy stuff, I would recommend entrance (it's on rensel's repository)
otherwise, you could probably try Login.app (if you go to the www.gnustep.org page, there will be a link there to a repository with arch packages related with gnustep, can't remember right now the name of the maintainer, but he was doing a good job keeping it up to date)
both are really cool

I tried both entrance and xdm now! I like them both but I think I prefere xdm! but xdm refuses to start during bootup! I added it to the same place as kdm, but it didn't work! and when I run both xdm and entrance I can't login with them, I get to this window with some session controll choises and then the x-server goes down!? how to fix that?

<troll> less exclamation points would probably fix it for you </troll>

dude, he's not a native english speaker, give him a break....
did you edit inittab and set the default runlevel to 5, and set runlevel 5 to run xdm --nodaemon (with respawn)?
Offline
edit runlevel? um, no... I only added it to the daemons to startup, like you would do with kdm and gdm! xdm doesn't work the same way? and I didn't quite understand what I should do, sorry! hehe
and a "gift" to whatah: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
