Re: [SuSE Linux] Running kdm with SuSE
Sure Go into YaST, system administration, change configuration file Near the bottom is variable displaymanager (probably set to console). Change it to kdm .
Multiple users with xdm is level "3" as I see it. Could someone give me specific instructions on setting up kdm in the SuSE version of /etc/inittab?
Now my problem with KDM: It didn't pick up my other window manager FVWM2 as an option on the available WM. It only shows KDE or failsafe. Also, when users log in, it appears that .profile and .bash_logout don't get run . I need to mount a SMB user drive and unmount them when they logoff. Worked if they logged in at console and then started the windowmanager. And to complicate it, the smbmount requires the user to enter a password (to tell the NT server). Anyone have any ideas? - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

punt skrev: the user directories on an NTFS partition, forget about passwords, and just set the rights ('tilladelser' in danish -- I haven't seen the english one, but rights just about mean the same, anyway it's the last tab of three in a normal configuration). Where my father works we have tried this and it worked great. I'm rather sure that smbclient would be able to handle that too although I haven't tried. What I think would be right would be to give the USER full rights of his own dir and then it's up to the administrator and/or that USER whether others may read or write there (and who). We actually did this from an NT Workstation, although it got the list of users from an NT Server ;) I hope this helps just a little bit. -- Martin Moeller. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

You can use `kdmconfig' to add fvwm2 to kdm. Then edit /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession. There should be a case command somewhere at the beginning; add something like fvwm2) exec /usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm2 ;; to it.
