A Slave is run in a sub-process spawned by each GdmDisplay.

It's used by GdmLaunchEnvironment to manage program sessions -(greeters, choosers, initial-setup), by GdmSimpleSlave to manage user -sessions, and by the worker itself to perform reauth. - -** GdmSessionWorkerJob - -A class that manages running a GdmSessionWorker subprocess. This will -also provide the GdmSession D-Bus address to the subprocess. - -** GdmSessionWorker - -This class handles the PAM conversation and relays the questions and -messages to the GdmSession through the private D-Bus connection. When -the user is authenticated this subprocess "exec"s the user session. - - -Local Variables: -mode: outline -End: |
