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).
