Subject: [bug#33916] [PATCH 0/4] Make GDM usable
Date: Sat, 29 Dec 2018 21:37:29 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87bm53n3iu.fsf@ngyro.com> (raw)

Hi Guix,

This patch series tweaks a few things in the GDM package and service so
that it kinda works.  That is to say, I have started using it as my DM,
and I have not pulled all of my hair out yet.  :)

I will start a different thread on guix-devel about what problems there
are and what is left to be done.  These patches are simple, and I want
to avoid complicating their review with open-ended questions.

The only tricky patch is the third one that deletes the “allow-root?”
configuration option.  When set, this option allows logging in to any
account *without* a password.  I don't think that was the intention, and
I don't think that feature is useful, so I removed it.  I couldn’t find
a similar setup in the example PAM config files shipped with GDM,
either.  My guess is that the option was intended to allow or disallow
root logins, but that is definitely not what it does.
