[Bug 267903] KDM kcm module conflicts with /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager settings
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=267903 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=267903#c21 Thomas Mitterfellner <tomm@sbox.tugraz.at> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |tomm@sbox.tugraz.at --- Comment #21 from Thomas Mitterfellner <tomm@sbox.tugraz.at> 2010-06-27 10:27:38 UTC --- I think the problem is that the script /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/read_sysconfig.sh generates the file /var/adm/kdm/kdmrc.sysconfig on the fly (according to the settings in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager kdmrc.sysconfig is used for configuration of kdm instead of /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/kdmrc which is the file edited by the kde control panel settings. In my opinion, this is a design issue in the yast sysconfig method, which causes a lot of confusion. Maybe the kdm configuration should be left to kde tools, so the script read_sysconfig.sh will just cat the kdmrc file to the kdmrm.sysconfig file. This would require a hint or documentation what's going on. It's e.g. not possible to have only certain users with password-less login, becaus read_sysconfig has: f [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER_PASSWORD_LESS_LOGIN" = "yes" ]; then echo "NoPassEnable=true" echo "NoPassAllUsers=true" else echo "NoPassEnable=false" echo "NoPassAllUsers=false" fi There is eg. no equivalent setting for NoPassUsers in sysconfig/displaymanager, so whatever the setting for the users which aren't required entering a password done via the kde systemsettings might be - it has no effect. (I changed the echo "NoPassAllUsers=true to echo "NoPassUsers=user1,user2,user4" as a dirty workaround for getting what I want). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
