--- Comment #53 from Pi Ny 2012-12-29 22:43:08 UTC ---
On 12.2 I stumbled over this issue because I wanted to allow the main display
user to shutdown the system despite there might be a root TTY session open.
I found a Novell Knowledge Base support article on this
http://www.novell.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=7007124
and another discussion here
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.suse.kde/16594
So, we seem to have several options:
* link /var/adm/kdm/kdmrc.sysconfig to /dev/null
(I think I did this years ago with an old suse distro...)
* make the file immutable (why, if it seems not to be missed if /dev/null{ed}?)
* edit the script /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/read_sysconfig.sh to do what you
have configured in /usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc (so why use it at all?)
Everybody who is confronted with a kdm issue is directed to editing
/usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc.
The existence of /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/read_sysconfig.sh is quite
"surprising" and I found it only by googling for "/var/adm/kdm/kdmrc.sysconfig"
Don't ask me how I stumbled over this file search string...
At first I opted for the /dev/null method... but then you loose this nice 12.2
login screen... so now I use a modified
/usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/read_sysconfig.sh.
I think the real intention of /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/read_sysconfig.sh should
be clarified and then a good concept might be created.
Right now it seems that the script does too many different things, display
manager selection, security, ...
Sorry for this long story, but I wasted so much time on this.............
