Agreed! > If I get into KDE on the server, under the KDE > Control Center I can find a login manager and turn off the faces. > However, they seem to come back sometime later. The same thing happens with gdm. Couldn't figure out what process was changing the face browser to true after we'd manually set it false. For lack of an explanation, I used brute force and made gdm.conf read only: chattr +i /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf This fixed the problem and hasn't created any side effects... but I'd still like to know what was changing this file so we could address the real cause. It happens without a reboot as if it's part of a cron job.

We've run both xdm and gdm interchangeably. If you'll ever need to login using Windows domain authentication with Winbind, gdm and kdm will work without modification with the system-auth-winbind file that Samba provides... xdm won't. xdm is lighter weight and I was going to fix it to work with winbind... but the kids liked the penguin graphic I put up in gdm so I decided to leave well enough alone! :) Best regards, -Tom ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
