    I've just installed a spanking new installation of FreeBSD 5.1 on my system.
    All went without a hitch EXCEPT I have configured kdm to start from
    /etc/rc.local. This file looks like this:
            #!/bin/sh
            /usr/local/bin/kdm
    If I let my system start up, it gets into the kdm screen, but nothing will
    happen when I use the keyboard! This includes entering username, password,
    and using ctrl-alt-number combinations. If I boot into safe mode, remount
    / as read-write then enter # kdm, everything works fine!

    I've been using linux for some time but have never seen this one before.

    Any ideas?
