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.
We have had some excitement here (on Debian/Ubuntu) stemming from gdb
trying to read .k5login as root.
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.
Yes, anyuser would need the 'l' bit.
