"The right place" may be debatable. GDM wants to create a gdm directory off of localstatedir, which would be in your case /var/gdm. This would be against FHS. Right now, using localstatedir=/var/lib, everything is right except for the logging directory, which is configurable in the gdm.conf file. At this point, I'm more inclined to provide instructions to modify the gdm.conf file than I am to create a /var/gdm directory. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 00:25:00 up 57 days, 23:58, 2 users, load average: 0.06, 0.06, 0.01 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
