It provides the GNOME -equivalent of a "login:" prompt. - -The full B<gdm> manual is installed as -F</usr/share/gnome/help/gdm/C/index.html> on your system. This is only a brief -summary - the HTML manual is the canonical documentation. - -B<gdm> reads F</etc/gdm/gdm.conf> for its configuration. For each -local display, gdm starts an X server and runs gdmlogin(8x) on that -display. The main gdm process also listens for XDMCP requests from -remote displays. These requests can either be direct, causing B<gdm> -to start a gdmlogin(8x) on the remote display, or indirect, causeing -a gdmchooser(8x) to be opened. - -When managing a display, B<gdm> attempts to execute -F</etc/gdm/Init/>I<display>, or F</etc/gdm/Init/Default> if that does -not exist. When a user logs in, B<gdm> first attempts -F</etc/gdm/PreSession/>I<display> (or F</etc/gdm/PreSession/Default>), -and then one of the sessions in F</etc/gdm/Sessions>. When the session -has completed, B<gdm> attempts to run -F</etc/gdm/PostSession/>I<display>, or -F</etc/gdm/PostSession/>I<Default>. Of all these files, only the -F</etc/gdm/Sessions> one is required to exist. - -B<gdm> maintains information about the displays it is managing in -F</var/lib/gdm>. This includes xauth information, so this directory -is not readable to normal users. - -B<gdm> uses PAM to perform authentication using the config file -F</etc/pam.d/gdm>. - -=head1 AUTHOR - -Martin Kasper Petersen <mkp@SunSITE.auc.dk> - -This manual page written by Steve Haslam <araqnid@debian.org> for -Debian GNU/Linux.
