Thanks for The reply Bill.

I tried changing inittab again and this time around it lets me start X
after I log in. I miht have goofed something last time.

Because these machines are in a lab I want them to log into X
automatically like they were doing, and I don't want the students to have
access to the command line.

Do I need to install a login-manager?
