[Bug 480634] New: setting InfoMsgFile in /etc/gdm/custom.conf does not work
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=480634 Summary: setting InfoMsgFile in /etc/gdm/custom.conf does not work Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mwfolsom@swcp.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009011913 Firefox/3.0.6 Should be able to add the following to /etc/gdm/custom.conf [greeter] InfoMsgFile=/etc/issue (here /etc/issue could also be /etc/motd or any other text file) then restart the system and have it display the contents of that file on the login screen. This worked in earlier versions of OpenSuse and also in SLE10 when you edited /etc/opt/gnome/gdm/gdm.conf file and set InfoMsgFile to equal /etc/issue in its greeter section. Also based on information from http://library.gnome.org/users/gdm/2.14/configuration.html.en#greetersection it should also work now. A similar bug appears to have occurred in both Fedora and RHEL5. Thanks! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.edit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf file and insert lines InfoMsgFile=/etc/issue in greeter section 2.restart system 3. Actual Results: Screen/pane with text for /etc/issue file does not appear on the login screen Expected Results: Text should show up and prompt user for an OK before letting user login. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Looks like this version gdm doesn't allow a banner to be added with the InfoMsgFile command. Rather things are setup quite differently. Poking around and found this: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=1156656 Looks like Fedora 10 is essentially running the same version of gdm as OpenSuse 11.1 and SLE11 rc4. The important section from that post is the 2 command to set things manually - ===================== gconftool-2 --direct ---config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --type bool --set /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/banner_message_enable true gconftool-2 --direct ---config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --type string --set /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/banner_message_text "This computer is for authorized users only. By accessing this system you are consenting to complete monitoring with no expectation of privacy. Unauthorized access or use may subject you to disciplinary action and criminal prosecution." ===================== This works, at least on SLES11 rc4 - my only problem now is formatting. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
