>Description:
Hi.  I'm a BSD idiot.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I looked at BSD rc.d things.  But you know I've never ran BSD - not sure why is good or bad compared to [Debian] linux.  It looks like there may be allot I don't know even if I read it / tried to research it.

I'm trying to release the below in a way in which any BSD users can use if they so please.  Maybe it's not worth showing others.  see for yourself if that's an issue.

http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/xdm-options/

(an xdm "sample config" suite but complete "round trip": chooser, login, desktop chooser, xdm server: by menus no hacking req. is the release hope)

It needs /etc/inittab (launch X display by it's sh script).

It needs /etc/rc.d (start the xdm server by it's sh script).

I looked at BSD rc.d things.  But you know I've never ran BSD - not sure why is good or bad compared to [Debian] linux.

Any advice?

Hello, thank you for using FreeBSD! You might consider to 
contact the x11@freebsd.org mailinglist so that they might 
point you whether this is OK or not or possibly the ports@freebsd.org 
mailinglist instead. Since this is not a problem report I 
will close this PR. 

Thanks
