The UserAuthDir is treated just like /tmp when no tilde expansion is used.
Thu Aug 14 17:50:30 2003 George Lebl <jirka@5z.com> * daemon/auth.c: The UserAuthDir is treated just like /tmp when no tilde expansion is used. Without that it is kind of useless. Also try to detect a nfs home directory by trying to open file for reading in it as root, and if we can't use the fallback directory. * docs/C/gdm.xml: Update docs for UserAuthDir and add a note about using this with NFS mounted home directories. * config/gdm.conf.in: add note about UserAuthDir
