I'm running netbsd 1.3.2 (ATHENA) on my laptop and it's great, thanks 
sipb and netbsd.org...

xdm is running I guess, (I have the graphic login screens), but when I 
installed, I remember not selecting an xdm option somewhere in the 
process.

I'm having some minor problems logging in and out that might be 
related.  any pointers or suggestions where to look would be 
appreciated:

1) my first login after a boot always hangs (haven't pursued where). if 
I break the xsession (ctrl-bksp) and login again, starts right up.

2) logout always gives me a console message about nonzero xsession exit 
code and bumps me to text mode momentarily, then loads graphic login 
screens.

3) (probably unrelated) when loading an application sometimes I get 
some painfully long blocks on io and messages to the effect of:

15:40 afs: Lost contact with volume location server 130.237.234.44 in 
cell stacken.kth.se
15:41 afs: Lost contact with volume location server 128.40.101.3 in 
cell bcc.ac.uk
15:42 afs: Lost contact with volume location server 128.148.37.20 in 
cell cs.brown.edu

looks like I'm hunting all over creation for things.  any way to 
prevent this?

Thnaks,
Bob Fleming
