What login program are you running in level 5 (xdm, gdm, kdm, login.app, or
something more obscure)?

What distribution are you running (sounds like redhat from the runlevels,
but what version)?


Well I am using RH5.2 and I found that I was running XDM from 
inittab

I tried changing it to GDM but nothing happened... lol... 
Do I need to add any command line variable when running GDM?

Right now the XDM command line is :
"x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/X11/xdm -nodaemon"

Any suggestions?
