You should not normally install the version of gdm included with the product
manually.
That version will be installed automatically by the installer *if appropriate*.
I believe the only appropriate situation for installing that version is on SLES
10, which had a significantly downrev version of GDM which had bugs affecting
Sun Ray performance.
In spite of the apparent version number differences Red Hat has (apparently)
incorporated the necessary patches in their recent releases, and thus should be
preferentially used. Again, utinstall should do the right thing here.
What version of Red Hat are you running?
If you're experiencing problems this might be worth a try, but my expectation
is that it will not help.
Thanks,
Bob

Hello again,
i am a little bit confused. Maybe i have made a mistake.
And maybe a second time :-}
Normally i install the gdm from Sun.
Maybe i have forgotten this the last time.
So i find now from Red Hat this: gdm-2.16.0-56.el5
Sun has this: gdm-2.16.7-2.1_01.sunray.x86_64.rpm
Maybe some of the people here with 26D problems have also forgotten to install
the Sun version of gdm???
I can't test gdm in the moment. So i don't know if this helps.
But one questions: I don't find the source for the Sun version.
Is here someone who knows a URL to it?
Thanx.
Detlev

We have to recompile gdmdynamic?
Yes, in fact all of gdm
Or is there a config file somewhere in the system?
there is a comment in daemon/gdm-net.c:
this should be configurable ......but it seems nobody did it
Detlev
P.S.: I am using Red Hat.
in Debian you just do:
apt-get build-dep gdm (install all libraries etc neccessary for building
gdm)
apt-get source gdm (get the source)
cd gdm-2.20.11
vi daemon/gdm-net.c (change the parameter)
dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc (build the package)
dpkg -i ../gdm_2.20.11-4_amd64.deb (install)
No idea what the equivalent yum/rpm commands are.
