Package: gdm Version: 2.18.1-2 Severity: important
We are using gdm in a thin client setup where all users login via xdmcp into the same machine. Previously users were able to log into the system via gdm even if they were alreay logged in from another station (after being warned that they are already logged in). With our most recent upgrade that has changed and now the gdm login screen simply swallows the login name and password without any response or warning. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-amd64-k8-smp (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA, LC_CTYPE=en_CA (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gdm depends on: ii 9wm [x-window-manage 1.2-7 emulation of the Plan 9 window man ii adduser 3.102 Add and remove users and groups ii aterm [x-terminal-em 1.0.0-5 Afterstep XVT - a VT102 emulator f ii aterm-ml [x-terminal 1.0.0-5 Afterstep XVT - a VT102 emulator f ii blackbox [x-window-m 0.70.1-1.1 Window manager for X ii debconf [debconf-2.0 1.5.13 Debian configuration management sy ii enlightenment [x-win 1:0.16.7.2-5 The Enlightenment Window Manager ii eterm [x-terminal-em 0.9.4.0debian1-2 Enlightened Terminal Emulator ii evilwm [x-window-man 0.99.21-1 a minimalist window manager for X1 ii fluxbox [x-window-ma 0.9.14-1.2 Highly configurable and low resour ii gksu 2.0.0-4 graphical frontend to su ii gnome-session 2.18.0-1 The GNOME 2 Session Manager ii gnome-terminal [x-te 2.18.0-2 The GNOME 2 terminal emulator appl ii konsole [x-terminal- 4:3.5.6.dfsg.2-2 X terminal emulator for KDE ii kwin [x-window-manag 4:3.5.6.dfsg.2-2 the KDE window manager ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.19-3 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.18.0-2 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libattr1 1:2.4.32-1.1 Extended attribute shared library ii libc6 2.5-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.4.6-1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.0.2-5 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.73-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdmx1 1:1.0.2-2 X11 Distributed Multihead extensio ii libfontconfig1 2.4.2-1.2 generic font configuration library ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.0-4 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.12.12-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.14.0-2 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgtk2.0-0 2.10.12-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpam-modules 0.79-4 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam-runtime 0.79-4 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 0.79-4 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpango1.0-0 1.16.4-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpopt0 1.10-3 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii librsvg2-2 2.16.1-2 SAX-based renderer library for SVG ii librsvg2-common 2.16.1-2 SAX-based renderer library for SVG ii libselinux1 2.0.15-2 SELinux shared libraries ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-13 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxau6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 authorisation library ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.8-2 X cursor management library ii libxdmcp6 1:1.0.2-2 X11 Display Manager Control Protoc ii libxext6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxfixes3 1:4.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous 'fixes' extensio ii libxi6 1:1.0.1-4 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.2-1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxml2 2.6.28.dfsg-1 GNOME XML library ii libxrandr2 2:1.2.1-1 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.2-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii lsb-base 3.1-23.1 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii metacity [x-window-m 1:2.18.2-3 A lightweight GTK2 based Window Ma ii multi-gnome-terminal 1.6.2-13 Enhanced the GNOME Terminal ii openbox [x-window-ma 3.3-2.1 standards compliant, fast, light-w ii pterm [x-terminal-em 0.60-1 PuTTY terminal emulator ii sawfish [x-window-ma 1:1.3+cvs20061004-1 a window manager for X11 ii wmaker [x-window-man 0.92.0-6.1 NeXTSTEP-like window manager for X ii xbase-clients 1:7.2.ds2-2 miscellaneous X clients ii xfce4-terminal [x-te 0.2.6-1 Xfce terminal emulator ii xfwm4 [x-window-mana 4.4.1-1 window manager of the Xfce project ii xvt [x-terminal-emul 2.1-20 X terminal-emulator similar to xte Versions of packages gdm recommends: ii dialog 1.1-20070409-2 Displays user-friendly dialog boxe ii gdm-themes 0.5.1 Themes for the GNOME Display Manag ii whiptail 0.52.2-10 Displays user-friendly dialog boxe ii zenity 2.18.1-1 Display graphical dialog boxes fro -- debconf information: gdm/daemon_name: /usr/bin/gdm * shared/default-x-display-manager: gdm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
