In all systems I have used, the console was not managed by xdm, although
some machines I have seen (HP, DECstations) which come up with a graphic
logon screen may be different. That's my $0.002 worth.

P.S. Something in your news software, or perhaps you, put a mail address in
     your followup-to field. This should only contain a newsgroup. Put a
     mail address in reply-to.
