Description William Baker 2006-04-07 21:22:05 UTC

Description of problem:

The gdm file slave.c references GDM_ALLOW_REMOTE_AUTO_LOGIN as a STRING, 
message is logged to SYSLOG.  This is critical - Remote Auto Login is broken.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdm-2.14.0-1 
How reproducible: 100%

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create the user "remote"
2. Use the following custom.conf segment to enable automated remote login

[daemon]
RemoteGreeter=/usr/libexec/gdmgreeter
TimedLoginEnable=true
TimedLogin=remote
TimedLoginDelay=5

[security]
RetryDelay=3
AllowRemoteLogin=true
AllowRemoteAutoLogin=true

[xdmcp]
Enable=true

2.  Connect to the gdm server using startx -- -query (remote host)
  
Actual results:  Authentication failure
Expected results:  Successful login.

Could someone please apply this one-line patch for Fedora Core 5 RPMs?

http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gdm2/daemon/slave.c?rev=1.328&view=log
1.325.2.3

        * daemon/slave.c: Fix reference to the security/AllowRemoteAutoLogin
          so it is accessed as a boolean, not a string.  Fixes remote
          autologin so it works again.

Comment 2 Andrew 2006-06-05 15:35:52 UTC

GDM 2.14.6 has the fix.  (FC5's latest GDM is 2.14.4, so the bug still exists in
FC5.)

Comment 3 Andrew 2006-07-06 22:48:58 UTC

Recent gdm updates to Fedora Core 5 have fixed this issue, so you may want to
close it.
