Thanks, that helped starting XDM, but now I have another problem
concerning XDM.

For example using Ion, the Hotkeys for starting up programs (xterm and
any other) do not work. I have to use full path for every program (I
have to use the full path to my WM in .xsession too). 

In a started xterm I can start any other program just by its name.

Google told me that it could be necessary to give the Paths to XDM
in /etc/rc.d/xdm but i do not have that file (or something like that).

Even though I do not want to use KDM I am curious about that too.

Thanks again. Now it works with pkgsrcs samba. 

I am starting samba as mentioned above on boot (put the line
into /etc/rc.d/rc.local) and i get these two lines on startup:

/usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/nmbd: WARNING: $nmbd is not set properly - see rc.conf
(5).
/usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/smbd: WARNING: $smbd is not set properly - see rc.conf
(5).

I think i should look into manpage for rc.conf but there seems to be
none.

I want samba to start up on boot, thats why I used the commands I wanted
to put to rc.local.
