GDM - GNOME DISPLAY MANAGER
The Gnome Display Manager is a re-implementation of the well known xdm
program. gdm consists of four separate parts: A small daemon, two
slightly different graphical login programs and a host chooser.
gdm 2.0 implements all significant features required for managing
local and remote displays.
gdm daemon:
o X Authentication
o Default and per-display initialization scripts
o Pre and post session scripts
o Pluggable Authentication Modules
o XDMCP
o TCP Wrappers for access control
gdmgreeter:
o Logo image (in any GdkImlib supported format)
o A face browser like the one on NeXT/SGI
o Tab-completion (no, doesn't work on passwords)
o Halt, reboot and laptop suspend
o Iconified login window (i.e. for xfishtank)
o Session selection support (Package manager friendly)
o Language selection support
gdmlogin:
o Logo image
o Halt and reboot
o Iconified login window
o Session selection support
o Language selection support
gdmchooser:
o Visual host browser
o Customizable icons
Most features can be turned on and off in the configuration file by
the sysadmin.
Availability:
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gdm/
Please consult README.install for instructions on how to configure and
install gdm.
Send suggestions, patches, bug reports etc. to mkp@SunSITE.auc.dk.
Bear in mind that this is beta software and please enable debug
logging (see README.install) and include your syslog and
<vardir>/gdm/<display>.log when sending bug reports.
