Since upgrading to 3.0.3 Login Manager appears to have stop working.
I have selected users as "dave" & "root" and show users = "all but no show". When I get to the login screen only "dave" is displayed ?
I also have "dave" set for a password-less login, but the login screen always demands his password ?
Strangely, the avaiable users list shows several application names (eg. adbas, amanda, etc.)?
Can anyone suggest a solution?
Usually, problems like these are because the control centre works on one config file and kdm actually uses another. The symlink between the two are broken in the upgrade.
Check that /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc actually is a symlink to /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc. if it isn't, create it with
ln -s /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc
In the /etc/opt/kd[...] directory it's a possibility (it happened to me) that rpm will have moved kdmrc to kdmrc.rpmsave. If that's the case, just rename it to kdmrc before you create the symlink.

Thanks Anders, You were absolutly right. The symlink was there, but linked to kdmrc.rpmsave. Regards Dave
