[Cooker] [Bug 1179] [kdebase] Mandrake's new kdm is welcomed with extreme displeasure
https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1179 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-06 14:55 --- I also want to express my displeasure with the new kdm. I have to add root to the list, to login as root which I dont like at all. Yes I know, I can CTRL-F[1-6], login as root, #startx ... but this sucks. In this form KDM is just standing in my way. Is there any reason for the new design? --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. --- Reminder: --- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEW creation_date: description: I've openned this as a bug because I think it has real usability and security problems, and because there is an easy solution: The new Mandrake kdm that removes the login text field, forces users to login in only if they are listed, and makes loging in a two-stage process is a big usability and security problem. A good solution would probably be: 1) A mdkkdm package (that can be installed by default) that has this new kdm in it (although, I surely hope that it is improved before it's used anywhere!) 2) The original unmodified (but it can be branded, as usual--we have no problem with that) kdm being installed by kdebase, and used if mdkkdm is not installed. Others have made plenty of comments in the cooker ML and can add comments here as appropriate.

Very Critical: It permit Halt/Reboot from remote kdm login, test with Xnest on localhost:1, which is not a local console, I won't make a full test from another computer, hope this not works.
