Obviously, you have a configuration problem. ;-)

Normally, something like this is a distro issue, you should try a SuSE list 
for distro specific help.

All I can tell you is that this:

	/etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm

is not a normal KDE directory location.  However, your distro may have 
changed it.  I really hate it when that happens. :-)

The other one:

	/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm

would be considered a correct location although that is no longer the 
default for built from source.

Is it possible that your KDEDIR environment variable isn't set correctly 
since KDE should look for the file as:

	$KDEDIR/share/config/kdm/kdmrc

Any SuSE users that could try to help here???
