GDM 2.4.4.5
EEEEEEEEEEEEEK
(If you have no clue what gdm is, skip a few paragraphs down
first)
Well, apparently quite normal for me is to discover problems
(people telling me about problems in the last version) the day
after the release. Oh well. So first this release includes a
month’s worth of translations that somehow didn’t quite make it
last time and also it includes a small security related fix. GDM
can leave your .Xauthority in readable state after purging the
cookies. Which is not really a huge problem since it will never
leave cookies in a readable (world readable I mean) file, but if
you use many displays, your other displays may be affected, though
only if your home dir is world readable obviously.
And now for the standard part of the release announcement:
GDM is the GNOME Display Manager, it is the little proggie that
runs in the background, runs your X sessions, presents you with a
login box and then tells you to piss off because you forgot your
password. It does pretty much everything that you would want to use
xdm for, but doesn’t involve as much crack. It doesn’t use any code
from xdm, and has a more paranoid and safer design overall. It also
includes many features over xdm, the biggest one of which is that
it is more user friendly, even if your X setup is failing. The goal
is that users should never, ever have to use the command line to
customize or troubleshoot gdm. It of course supports xdmcp, and in
fact extends xdmcp a little bit in places where I thought xdm was
lacking (but is still compatible with xdm’s xdmcp).
News:
Highlights of 2.4.4.5:
- Brown paper security bag: ~/.Xauthority could be left readable
after logout - gecos info (face browser user name) didn’t get through if
non-utf8 (Frederic Crozat) (fixes mandrake #5309) - Translation updates (another brown paper bag, these went in
over the last month) (Kjartan Maraas, Andras Timar, Danilo Segan,
Ales Nyakhaychyk, Asmund Skjaeveland, Gustavo Maciel Dias Vieira,
Augusta Marques da Silva, Richard Allen)
Note: GDM2 was originally written by Martin K. Petersen
<mkp@mkp.net>, and has for a
while now been maintained by the Queen of England. She is usually
not responsive to bug reports or feature requests. You can try to
send them to me however.
Note2: If installing from the tarball do note that make install
overwrites most of the setup files, all except gdm.conf. It will
however save backups with the .orig extension first.
Note3: Note3 has been depracated …

Sorry no RPMS. There is a spec file included in the tarball and
it should work. So generate an rpm with
rpmbuild -ta gdm-whatever.tar.gz/
Have fun (or whatever else you wish to be having),
George
PS: Again should be doing homework, so no silliness. NONE. Stop
whining! I won’t say anything about chinese in space and how it
relates to conspiracy theories which makes people tell me about
problems in gdm one day too late. Also no dilapidation of barns
will be done, and nothing to do with NASA. Now back to proving that
$C^k([0,1])$ is a Banach space under some whacky norm.
