Hello!

	I was wondering if anyone could tell me the syntax for placing XDM
in the /etc/ttys file.  I would do this for the console entry I suspect.  
What I desire is for FreeBSD to boot up directly to the XDM login prompt.  
And I also want to access the FreeBSD box from XTerminals, but once I get XDM
up and running that should be no problem.

Thanks!
