>Description:
	rc.shutdown looks in the wrong place for file xdm-pid (it looks
	in /var/run/, but xdm puts its file in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/).

	If you fix that, then the "kill -0" statement displays an
	error message when the xdm process exits.  Although the
	message doesn't really hurt anything, it messes up the
	printout from rc.shutdown
>How-To-Repeat:
	Just run rc.shutdown
>Fix:
	Apply following patch to rc.shutdown:
