Hi All,
For a while this file has instructed a new login class to be added to the end
of /etc/login.conf, as per below.
gnome:\
:datasize-cur=1024M:\
:tc=default:
On both my amd64 machines, this does not effectuate following a reboot. If I
try to create a new user in the class with adduser and try to specify gnome,
gnome: is not allowed!
is printed. gnome is not listed in the 'Default login class list' either. If I
use the usermod command as written in the readme,
usermod: No such login class `gnome'
is printed.
If I try to force the gnome class by editing the chpass database for the user
and rebooting, users will appear on the gdm greeter but it is impossible to
login to them. Users created through the GNOME Settings are added to the
default class and are also impossible to login to, I think because the password
encoding is different.
My workaround for now is to use the 'staff' login class, which seems to have
resource limits high enough for gnome to work, although it is "not
recommended". With this setup there is a functionality issue - logging out
through the UI causes gdm to exit to the console (although the daemon seems to
continue running), whereas it should display the gdm greeter. Whether or not
this is a byproduct of the staff class settings I don't know.
