After testing the beta of CentOS 5, i was a little surprised to notice that the display manager part of the prefdm file in /etc/X11 was exactly like in CentOS 4 / RHEL4 and previous versions including RH9. it reads like this (added line numbers for reference): 14 # Run preferred X display manager 15 preferred= 16 if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/desktop ]; then 17 . /etc/sysconfig/desktop 18 if [

Sorry to be so slow in responding. I've done what you suggested. I created /etc/sysconfig/desktop and entered "$DISPLAYMANAGER=KDM". I rebooted but there was no change. GDM is still being used. Any other suggestions? mw ======================== Just create the file /etc/sysconfig/desktop and put in it: DESKTOP=KDM I believe it's DESKTOP - you can dbl check /etc/X11/prefdm

Hello, We generally use CentOS for some servers, and so do not use a GUI interface. However, I have recently installed CentOS 6.3 onto a PC with KDE. I am familiar with KDE as I use it with Fedora for my work PC. The problem is that we would like to configure the login screen, so that it does not show the user list, that it does not allow the shutdown or reboot commands (from the login screen),

Hi all, I'm looking for pointer for setting up VNC so that access to the system is via gdm/kdm. Yes, I know about vino, and /etc/sysconfig/vncservers but what I'm looking for is a sertup that allows me to see the *dm login screen instead of being dropped direct into a desktop. Thanks in advance

Hi all, Is it possible to run cronjobs configured by a user to run only when he/she is logged (via GDM/KDM,etc.)? Thanks.

Hi, After searching the archive I found one post (last october) complaining about lack of kmod-drbd2 rpm for the lastest kernels. Almost two months have passed and no sign of the rpm I was wondering if the mantainer has some news about it. Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hey, folks, I've got an HP Proliant DL580 G5 throwing ECC errors. This is annoying, since a) it's all new as of a few months ago, and b) it's *fully* populated. The two things I need to figure out are a) *which* DIMM it is, and b) is it mirrored; if so, which *other* DIMM needs to come out until we get replacements from the OEM. Here's one of many, all identical, from dmesg:

How would i allow xwindows and xdmcp through would it be ACCEPT net -> fw all 117 and ACCEPT net -> fw all 6000:6100 ? and for that matter how would i stop x traffic from leaving the fw machine? REJECT fw -> net all 6000:6100 ?

Hello I have some issues with OpenBSM which i cannot resolve, so i decided to ask there. 1) I found some bugs in the auditreduce utility and created patch for it - http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=114534. Please, someone from freebsd team - take it, i think its better to fix this before next release. 2) I found that when i`m using XDM as login manager with OpenBSM, all my audit

Hi, I mentioned this issue in reply to "CentOS 7.1 user login screen can't scroll up/down" but heard nothing. We authenticate using NIS and our home directories are mounted via NFS. Once a user logs into a CentOS7 workstation their username appears in the login screen 'user list'. I have disabled the list but notice that after a reboot running mount -l shows all

I've looked around in the menus and googled this, but I can't find a way to make the login require a username instead of just showing the available users to select from. ?Where do I change this? ?I'm using CentOS 6.5. Thanks, -wes

Hello, I need the possibility to login to other machines on my network. With kdm it works by choosing "Remote Login" from a menu in the greeter. I would prefer not to use kdm. ;-) I saw that the option "greeter-show-remote-login" should do that for lightdm. I work with a debian "wheezy/testing" system and installed the following packages from the

The system boots to a CLI console. I can login and
