Are you really using xdm? Won't it be kdm, or kdm3, or kdm4, or gdm?
The one you really use must match the "DISPLAYMANAGER" entry in the "/etc/sysconfig/displaymanager" file.
That is set to kdm3.
# cat /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager |grep DISPLAYMANAGER= DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm3"
But there is no kdm3 script in /etc/init.d/ to start/stop kdm3.
I can stop kdm3 by killing it (kill xxxx).
init 5 then restarts kdm3, it seems that part is OK.
Now I have to trace why kdm3 is not stopped by init 3.
I thought a possible workaround might be to look in kdmrc, find any instances of TerminateServer=false and if found, change it/them to true. I booted a 12.2/KDE3 system here with sysvinit-init installed directly to runlevel 5. Init 3 from tty3 root login fails to stop KDM here too. NAICT, it is /etc/init.d/xdm that starts whatever DM is configured in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager's DISPLAYMANAGER. I tried copying the smaller xdm file from the host's 12.1 partition to 12.2's and repeating. Init 3 still fails to stop KDM. Looks like https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=783862 needs some serious poking. I'm afraid our best solution may turn out to be not using runlevel 5 at all, startx instead. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
