This is what I have in /etc/rc.d/rc.4. I commented out the echo line so
at least I don't see that.. :)

# Tell the viewers what's going to happen...
# echo "Starting up X11 session manager..."

  # Try to use SLiM login manager.  This comes first, because if SLiM
is # installed, then the user probably wants to use it by default:
  if [ -x /usr/bin/slim ]; then
    exec /usr/bin/slim
  fi
