[gentoo-user] gdm login problem

2005-03-26 Thread pat
Hi all,

I want to use gdm as display manager, so I emerged the gdm and the rest of the
gnome (precisely gnome-light) and followed the instruction in documentation
(gnome-config.xml).

After restart the gdm comes up but after typing user name (trying root - I
know its risky on the net, but I just playing), an error dialog appers with
message Authentication failed. I look at gdm log but there is nothing :-(

Could someone help ???

Thanks

 Pat

P.S. System is Gentoo 2004.3, kernel 2.6.10, gnome 2.8.2.

If you are using -pam, then you need a patch for gdm before it will
work. I switched to xdm so I can keep my -pam without having to worry
about a patch.
