Quoting Stephan Wiesand <[email protected]>:

this works fine here on EL <= 6 (EL6 has gdm-2.30).

Debian squeeze has gdm 2.20. Are you suggesting that I'm dealing with a gdm bug or a Debian bug?

I always liked it that gdm, unlike other *dm, reads the file
after acquiring the user's credentials.

Unfortunately, that's not happening here, so Red Hat must be different.

The common workaround is to replace such files with symlinks to one in a directory with system:anyuser read permissions.

But, would that not mean that system:anyuser would also have to have permission to list files in people's home directories? Otherwise, it seems to me that the symlinks would not be visible.

Cheers,

Jaap
