-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am running LTSP (not sure what version nor how to check, I didn't install it) on a pair of systems with one running FC5 and one running FC4. When a users workstation gets turned off or reset their session stays running causing the machine to be unable to talk to gdm so the user cannot login again. Every couple of days we get users stuck in this situation. We have around 30 constant users.
There is a config variable in gdm.conf called PingIntervalSeconds which defaults to 15 seconds according to the docs (gdm 2.14.9 on the FC5 box and gdm 2.6.0 on FC4) but I specifically set it to 15 seconds just to be sure. When a users terminal is turned off the docs say that the ping between gdm and the remote X server should time out after 15 seconds and then the user is logged off. But in our case this is not happening. I have strace'd the gdm-binary and I see that it is indeed pinging every 15 seconds. When the ping fails it does a kill() on its own PID. When gdm-binary dies it goes zombie and shows in the process list as defunct. Shouldn't the parent gdm-binary wait() on the exit code? I did an strace on the parent gdm-binary during this process and did not see this happening. Anyone else having this problem? - -- Tracy R Reed http://ultraviolet.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFF1Wu59PIYKZYVAq0RAhiqAKCMYxdDenVxOInVU48g3cjxePfO+wCfelxH Tu7KY9TyNhZJq9SGMr0xJ8Q= =F5z3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
