Provided that it is possible for the installer(s) and user add tools to edit the configuration, yes. If not then... no. BTW, the cache did have one nice side-effect: you could see recently logged in, not just opted-in users, in the face browser. > Or do we also need the ability for opt-out to be a user preference so > that user's can opt-out of the face browser even if they do not have > the authority to modify the GDM Include/Exclude configuration options? That'd be nice, but I don't think that should be a requirement. Nico --
