Hi Patrick,

I'm glad you got the cron problem figured out.  That was some good
sleuthing!

It makes sense that the ldm wouldn't run well without the environment
being set properly, but were you able to simply *start* the ldm on
booting the system without the .cshrc file in place?  (.login is only
executed if someone logs in from a terminal.)  If so, then we can narrow
the problem down to something in the environment.
