Question about the activation of xdmcp in kde and its login manager.
After enabling xdmcp in suse-8.1 in kdmrc in the file: /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc, nothing shows up in kde login manager. Does anyone have succesfully activated this functionality in suse-8.1?
I did a discovery today concerning this problem;
Have a look at VT10 (<ctl><alt><f10>) just after starting the X server. I have there log message saying that some kdmrc keys are not recognized. These keys are:
[X-:0-Greeter] EnableChooser=true LogSource=/dev/xconsole ShowLog=true loginMode=2
I wunder why they are not recognized.
A not much saying snippet of the code (file kdebase/kdm/kfrontend/kdm_config.c): for (i = 0; i < cursec->sect->numents; i++) if ((int)strlen (cursec->sect->ents[i].name) == nlen && !memcmp (cursec->sect->ents[i].name, nstr, nlen)) goto keyok; LogError ("Unrecognized key '%.*s' at %s:%d\n", nlen, nstr, kdmrc, line); goto keyfnd;

It would be nice to know what causes this....
A feature (in development...)? Get ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_8.1/source/kdebase3-3.1-75.src.rpm and have a look at kdebase-3.1/kdm/kfrontend/genkdmconf.c, the generator of kdmrc (yup, same dir as above snippet) kdm only barfs, but doesn't stumble. I think it's nothing to worry about (exciting perhaps). (BTW, kdebase3.spec is very interesting, with all that stuff about suse_version > 811 and kcm_randr... :P about 2 months to go for 8.2 :P...)
