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 2006-05-04 Brian Cameron <brian.cameron> * 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.
GDM 2.14.6 has the fix. (FC5's latest GDM is 2.14.4, so the bug still exists in FC5.)
Recent gdm updates to Fedora Core 5 have fixed this issue, so you may want to close it.
