Silyx, can you hunt down a code example?
KevB, I've never tried, I'll have to get back to you.

it would not be hard at all to modify one of those programs to work like you need it.

Nice link dakrone. I'll try some of these tonight

Not really sure you need those extra programs. Linux is a multi user OS and if you type login you get the kind of prompt I'm talking about. It's just a setup issue which means DSL logs in automatically for you.

The problem is that everything up until FluxBox seems to run as root, so I assume that something about the kDrive servers needs them to run as root, or maybe something before that. I may try messing with inittab tonight to see if I can get a login prompt, as I would like to get xdm or something working because it just looks cooler than a text prompt!
