A Display manager is typically split into two pieces: the greeter, and the display manager proper. The greeter is the bit you interact with: the graphical bit. Previously, the greeter was simple: it simply returned the userid and password to the DM. If something broke in the dm (i.e., bad password, etc), then the greeter couldn't show you anything about it. Now, the greeter and the display manager interact. It's a conversation, and the display manager can tell the greeter to re-ask for a password, display this status message, etc. > > Autologin working. > Al - last time I tried this ALL machines logged in as the same user is this > working or was it working per mac address?
