Preserving X forwarded applications
I'm looking for a solution similar to the screen utility, but for X11. I want, for example, to burn a cd on a remote computer using some GUI application. If, for any reason, the network goes down while burning, I suppose I lose the whole thing. Same thing goes when editing a document. I know that I can launch a VNC/NX server, but X forwarding is a much more comfortable solution. Is there any way to make sure a X forwarded application won't die when my session is disconnected? Also, I would like to be able to reconnect the window when logging back in. -- Roey ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: GDM login without using a password
AFAIK the automatic login feature allows you to nominate a user to automatically log in as... it doesn't ask for the password but I think one can be set (so it doesn't need to be empty). As I said, the automatic login feature is not what I'm looking for. I need to set up more than one user that is able to login without a password. The computer is a home computer, so local security is not an issue. -- Roey ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
GDM login without using a password
I've searched around the internet for a way to allow a user to login into GDM without using a password. I know that GDM has an automatic login feature, but that's not what I'm looking. I really do not wish to create a user with an empty password, in order not to compromise the entire system security. I found a mini-HOWTO which suggests using the pam_filelist module. Unfortunately, I couldn't find this module in the ports system. Is there any other way to allow this user to login without using a password only using GDM? -- Roey ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: GDM login without using a password
OK the pam stuff that is talked about online is found in /etc/pam.d/gdm. I have seen a few suggestions to change the auth to optional instead of required. However there would be nothing to stop some one logging in as root through gdm. Is there any other pam module which can supply a passwordless login? maybe pam_guest? -- Roey ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: GDM login without using a password
Is there any other pam module which can supply a passwordless login? maybe pam_guest? I figured it out. Adding this line: authsufficient pam_guest.soguests=username nopass to /etc/pam.d/gdm did the trick. -- Roey ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
