1999-12-29 <mkp@mkp.net> * Checkin of my devel tree. Some of the new stuff is in. Mostly infrastructure changes, though. Oh, and it doesn't actually work yet. But it will eventually. Promise! 1999-12-26 <mkp@mkp.net> * daemon/verify-*.c: Move each authentication scheme to a separate file (Sucks to be a translator :). 1999-12-21 <mkp@mkp.net> * daemon/verify.c (gdm_verify_user): Added fix for expired passwords when using PAM (Philip Spencer <pspencer@fields.utoronto.ca>). 1999-11-11 <mkp@mkp.net> * daemon/misc.c (gdm_setenv): New function to work around POSIX brain damage. 1999-11-01 <mkp@mkp.net> * daemon/verify.c (gdm_verify_user): Error in error message. * daemon/slave.c (gdm_slave_greeter_ctl): Nuke random junk that might have accumulated in the ipc pipe. * gui/gdmlogin.c (gdm_login_ctrl_handler): Same as above. * configure.in: Fixed -lnsl (again) 1999-10-03 <mkp@mkp.net> * daemon/slave.c: Misc. hacks to solve #2487. PAM messes with pwent. * daemon/gdm.c (gdm_config_parse): Check that gdmlogin and gdmchooser can be executed by gdm before starting up. 1999-10-02 <mkp@mkp.net> * daemon/slave.c (gdm_slave_greeter_ctl): Fix NULL string passing bug.
