Package: sddm Version: 0.14.0-4 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I'm running testing (buster) on one of my PCs. This uses sddm instead of the previous kdm. kdm generates an auth file for passing to the Xserver that uses the wildcard value for connection method. e.g. #ffff##: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 68389d0b79e85041a85532b41264b110 sddm instead generates an auth file for passing to the XServer that uses the computer hostname and unix connection method. e.g. hostname/unix:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 68389d0b79e85041a85532b41264b110 This is true even after I have created a /etc/sddm.conf file with the line ServerArguments=-listen tcp to enable tcp connections to the Xserver. Because of this change to the Xserver auth file it is not possible with sddm to authorise tcp connections to the Xserver using MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 entries in the .XAuthority file on a remote computer. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 4.12.0-1-686-pae (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages sddm depends on: ii adduser 3.116 ii debconf 1.5.63 ii libc6 2.24-17 ii libgcc1 1:7.2.0-4 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.6 ii libqt5core5a 5.9.1+dfsg-9 ii libqt5dbus5 5.9.1+dfsg-9 ii libqt5gui5 5.9.1+dfsg-9 ii libqt5network5 5.9.1+dfsg-9 ii libqt5qml5 5.9.1-6 ii libqt5quick5 5.9.1-6 ii libstdc++6 7.2.0-4 ii libsystemd0 234-3 ii libxcb-xkb1 1.12-1 ii libxcb1 1.12-1 ii qml-module-qtquick2 5.9.1-6 ii x11-common 1:7.7+19 ii xserver-xorg [xserver] 1:7.7+19 Versions of packages sddm recommends: ii libpam-systemd 234-3 ii sddm-theme-debian-maui [sddm-theme] 0.14.0-4 Versions of packages sddm suggests: pn libpam-kwallet5 <none> -- debconf information: sddm/daemon_name: /usr/bin/sddm * shared/default-x-display-manager: sddm
