| How are you starting xdm? It should NOT be started by /etc/ttys, which
| would start a new one everytime you log out. Is should be started once
| in, say /etc/rc.local and never again.
Actually, if you use the -nodaemon flag with xdm, you can avoid
the behaviour you describe. Here is the /etc/ttys we use.
:0 "/usr/bin/X11/xdm -nodaemon" none on secure
