What ? "face mode" - this is a non-starter. do we still remember that we have had a project called "Secure by Default" ? http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Community+Group+on/2006060101 "face mode" enables listing of all accounts available for login on a given system. No - I do not want that and I'm pretty sure, if OSOL/Solaris.Next ever ends up in production use, the people supposed to run it won't want to have that either. even the gdm(1M) man page mentions that. apparently you can restrict that sort of as gdm(1M) further mentions: <snip> greeter/IncludeAll=false (boolean) If true, then the face browser will show all users on the local machine. If false, the face browser will only show users who have recently logged in. <snip end> even that is too much. besides, I suppose that there are a lot of users out there, that do not want or need things like "face mode", playing sound or movies on Login or similar gadgets. Heaven, this is Unix, this is Solaris, this runs on Servers.... also letting the inital "want to login" box hanging around for some time eventually places an additional error window in the inital login screen that GDM apparently is not able to login the user automatically....ehmm...which user please ? why would it do that by default anyways ? I've not told it todo so.. do we have to import every funny game the Gnome/Linux community comes up with ? Concerning out of the box experience, can't we give it at least some love to make this look and work a little bit like our environment ? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
