Description Orion Poplawski 2014-06-24 19:41:40 UTC

Description of problem:

I cannot log into an account with a NFS mounted home directory with sddm.  From an strace analysis, it appears that sddm attempts to run xauth as root to add the X11 auth data to the user's .Xauthority file.  As root has no privileges on the NFS home directory this fails.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sddm-0.2.0-0.29.20140623gitdb1d7381.fc21.x86_64
