How to boot OpenBSD 5.1 to KDE desktop bypassing the login and typing KDEDIR=/user/l

Hello, does anyone know how to config 5.1 to bypass the login and $ KDEDIR=/user/local exec ssh -agent /usr/local/bin/startkde ....so that it goes from powering on the computer straight to the KDE desktop screen which I have installed? Instead of having to login and then type this text above to get the kde desktop. Thanks Tony

man kdm

Hey, thanks for the Kdm info. I do not have that installed. If I type man kdm I get that it is not found. Is there a way to do this with out that installed?

I was going to suggest looking it up here, but it doesn't appear to have non-base man pages...so I started digging around on one of my systems looking for the info, but "kdm" doesn't appear to be a separate package...so it may or may not have a man page anyways.

I haven't used kde since ~2005...so I'll have to defer to other forum members on this =) but the answer is most likely going to be "install and configure a graphical login manager".
