+ GDM includes support for publishing user login information with the user
+ and login session accounting framework known as ConsoleKit. ConsoleKit
+ is able to keep track of all the users currently logged in. In this
+ respect, it can be used as a replacement for the utmp or utmpx files that
+ are available on most Unix-like Operating Systems.
+ </p><p class="para block">
+ When GDM is about to create a new login process for a user it will call
+ a privileged method of ConsoleKit in order to open a new session for this
+ user. At this time GDM also provides ConsoleKit with information about
+ this user session such as: the user ID, the X11 Display name that will be
+ associated with the session, the host-name from which the session
+ originates (useful in the case of an XDMCP session), whether or not this
+ session is attached, etc. As the entity that initiates the user process,
+ GDM is in a unique position know and to be trusted to provide these bits
+ of information about the user session. The use of this privileged method
+ is restricted by the use of D-Bus system message bus security policy.
+ </p><p class="para block">
+ In the case where a user with an existing session and has authenticated
+ at GDM and requests to resume that existing session GDM calls a
+ privileged method of ConsoleKit to unlock that session. The exact
+ details of what happens when the session receives this unlock signal is
+ undefined and session-specific. However, most sessions will unlock a
+ screensaver in response.
+ </p><p class="para block">
+ When the user chooses to log out, or if GDM or the session quit
+ unexpectedly the user session will be unregistered from ConsoleKit.
+ </p><p class="para block">
+ If support for ConsoleKit is not desired it can be disabled at build
+ time using the "--with-console-kit=no" option when running
+ configure.

+ GDM is responsible for managing displays on the system. This includes
+ authenticating users, starting the user session, and terminating the
+ user session. GDM is configurable and the ways it can be configured
+ are described in the "Configuring GDM" section of this
+ document. GDM is also accessible for users with disabilities.
+ </p><p class="para block">
+ GDM provides the ability to manage the main console display, and
+ displays launched via VT. It is integrated with other programs,
+ such as the Fast User Switch Applet (FUSA) and gnome-screensaver
+ to manage multiple displays on the console via the Xserver Virtual
+ Terminal (VT) interface. It also can manage XDMCP displays.
+ </p><p class="para block">
+ Regardless of the display type, GDM will do the following when it
+ manages the display. It will start an Xserver process, then run the
+ <span class="filename">Init</span> script as the root user, and start the
+ greeter program on the display.
+ </p><p class="para block">
+ The greeter program is run as the unpriviledged "gdm"
+ user/group. This user and group are described in the
+ "Security" section of this document. The main function of
+ the greeter program is to authenticate the user. The authentication
+ process is driven by Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM). The PAM
+ modules determine what prompts (if any) are shown to the user to
+ authenticate. On the average system, the greeter program will request
+ a username and password for authentication. However some systems may
+ be configured to use alternative mechanisms such as a fingerprint or
+ SmartCard reader. GDM and PAM can be configured to not require any
+ input, which will cause GDM to automatically log in and simply
+ start a session, which can be useful for some environments, such as
+ for kiosks.
+ </p><p class="para block">
+ In addition to authentication, the greeter program allows the user to
+ select which session to start and which language to use. Sessions are
+ defined by files that end in the .desktop suffix and more information
+ about these files can be found in the "Configuration"
+ section of this document. By default, GDM is configured to display a
+ face browser so the user can select their user account by clicking on
+ an image instead of having to type their username. GDM keeps track of
+ the user's default session and language in the user's
+ <span class="filename">~/.dmrc</span> and will use these defaults if the user
+ did not pick a session or language in the login GUI.
+ </p><p class="para block">
+ After authenticating a user, the daemon runs the
+ <span class="filename">PostLogin</span> script as root, then runs the
+ <span class="filename">PreSession</span> script as root. After running these
+ scripts, the user session is started. When the user exits their
+ session, the <span class="filename">PostSession</span> script is run as root.
+ These scripts are provided as hooks for distributions and end-users
+ to customize how sessions are managed. For example, using these
+ hooks you could set up a machine which creates the user's $HOME
+ directory on the fly, and erases it on logout. The difference
+ between the <span class="filename">PostLogin</span> and
+ <span class="filename">PreSession</span> scripts is that
+ <span class="filename">PostLogin</span> is run before the pam_open_session call
+ so is the right place to do anything which should be run before the
+ user session is initialized. The <span class="filename">PreSession</span>
+ script is called after session initialization.

+ The GDM greeter program displays a panel docked at the bottom of the screen
+ which provides additional functionality. When a user is selected, the
+ panel allows the user to select which session, language, and keyboard layout
+ to use after logging in. The keyboard layout selector also changes the keyboard
+ layout used when typing your password. The panel also contains an area
+ for login services to leave status icons. Some example status icons
+ include a battery icon for current battery usage, and an icon for
+ enabling accessibility features. The greeter program also provides
+ buttons which allow the user to shutdown or restart the system. It is
+ possible to configure GDM to not provide the shutdown and restart
+ buttons, if desired. GDM can also be configured via PolicyKit (or via
+ RBAC on Solaris) to require the user have appropriate authorization
+ before accepting the shutdown or restart request.

+ GDM supports "Accessible Login", allowing users to log into

+ mouse, or keyboard in the usual way. Accessible Technology (AT)
+ features such as an on-screen keyboard, screen reader, screen
+ magnifier, and Xserver AccessX keyboard accessibility are available.
+ It is also possible to enable large text or high contrast icons and
+ controls, if needed.
+ </p><p class="para block">

+ The Face Browser is the interface which allows users to select their
+ username by clicking on an image. This feature can be enabled or
+ disabled via the /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list GConf
+ key and is on by default. When disabled, users must type their
+ complete username by hand. When enabled, it displays all local users
+ which are available for login on the system (all user accounts defined
+ in the /etc/passwd file that have a valid shell and sufficiently high
+ UID) and remote users that have recently logged in.
+ The face browser in GDM 2.20 and earlier would attempt to display all
+ remote users, which caused performance problems in large,
+ enterprise deployments.
+ </p><p class="para block">
+ The Face Browser is configured to display the users who log in most
+ frequently at the top of the list. This helps to ensure that users
+ who log in frequently can quickly find their login image.
+ </p><p class="para block">
+ The Face Browser supports "type-ahead search" which dynamically
+ moves the face selection as the user types to the corresponding username
+ in the list. This means that a user with a long username will only
+ have to type the first few characters of the username before the correct
+ item in the list gets selected.
+ </p><p class="para block">
+ The icons used by GDM can be installed globally by the sysadmin or can
+ be located in the user's home directories. If installed globally
+ they should be in the <span class="filename"><share>/pixmaps/faces/</span>
+ directory and the filename should be the name of the user. Face image
+ files should be a standard image that GTK+ can read, such as PNG or
+ JPEG. Face icons placed in the global face directory must be readable
+ to the GDM user.
+ </p><p class="para block">
+ If there is no global icon for the user, GDM will look in the user's
+ $HOME directory for the image file. GDM will first look for the user's
+ face image in <span class="filename">~/.face</span>. If not found, it will try
+ <span class="filename">~/.face.icon</span>. If still not found, it will use the
+ value defined for "face/picture=" in the
+ <span class="filename">~/.gnome2/gdm</span> file.
+ </p><p class="para block">
+ If a user has no defined face image, GDM will use the
+ "stock_person" icon defined in the current GTK+ theme. If no
+ such image is defined, it will fallback to a generic face image.
+ </p><p class="para block">
+ Please note that loading and scaling face icons located in remote user
+ home directories can be a very time-consuming task. Since it not
+ practical to load images over NIS or NFS, GDM does not attempt to load
+ face images from remote home directories.
+ </p><p class="para block">
+ When the browser is turned on, valid usernames on the computer are
+ exposed for everyone to see. If XDMCP is enabled, then the usernames
+ are exposed to remote users. This, of course, limits security
+ somewhat since a malicious user does not need to guess valid usernames.
+ In some very restrictive environments the face browser may not be
+ appropriate.

+ The GDM daemon can be configured to listen for and manage X Display
+ Manage Protocol (XDMCP) requests from remote displays. By default
+ XDMCP support is turned off, but can be enabled if desired. If GDM is
+ built with TCP Wrapper support, then the daemon will only grant access
+ to hosts specified in the GDM service section in the TCP Wrappers
+ configuration file.
+ </p><p class="para block">
+ GDM includes several measures making it more resistant to denial of
+ service attacks on the XDMCP service. A lot of the protocol
+ parameters, handshaking timeouts, etc. can be fine tuned. The default
+ configuration should work reasonably most systems.
+ </p><p class="para block">
+ GDM by default listens for XDMCP requests on the normal UDP port used
+ for XDMCP, port 177, and will respond to QUERY and BROADCAST_QUERY
+ requests by sending a WILLING packet to the originator.
+ </p><p class="para block">
+ GDM can also be configured to honor INDIRECT queries and present a
+ host chooser to the remote display. GDM will remember the user's
+ choice and forward subsequent requests to the chosen manager. GDM
+ also supports an extension to the protocol which will make it forget
+ the redirection once the user's connection succeeds. This extension
+ is only supported if both daemons are GDM. It is transparent and
+ will be ignored by XDM or other daemons that implement XDMCP.

+ For security reasons a dedicated user and group id are recommended for
+ proper operation. This user and group are normally "gdm" on
+ most systems, but can be configured to any user or group. All GDM
+ GUI programs are run as this user, so that the programs which interact
+ with the user are run in a sandbox. This user and group should have
+ limited privilege.
+ </p><p class="para block">
+ The only special privilege the "gdm" user requires is the
+ ability to read and write Xauth files to the
+ <span class="filename"><var>/run/gdm</span> directory. The
+ <span class="filename"><var>/run/gdm</span> directory should have
+ root:gdm ownership and 1777 permissions.
+ </p><p class="para block">
+ You should not, under any circumstances, configure the GDM user/group
+ to a user which a user could easily gain access to, such as the user
+ <span class="filename">nobody</span>. Any user who gains access to an Xauth
+ key can snoop on and control running GUI programs running in the
+ associated or perform a denial-of-service attack on that session. It
+ is important to ensure that the system is configured properly so that
+ only the "gdm" user has access to these files and that it
+ is not easy to login to this account. For example, the account should
+ be setup to not have a password or allow non-root users to login to the
+ account.
+ </p><p class="para block">
+ The GDM greeter configuration is stored in GConf. To allow the GDM
+ user to be able to write configuration, it is necessary for the
+ "gdm" user to have a writable $HOME directory. Users may
+ configure the default GConf configuration as desired to avoid the
+ need to provide the "gdm" user with a writable $HOME
+ directory. However, some features of GDM may be disabled if it is

+ GDM uses PAM for login authentication. PAM stands for Pluggable
+ Authentication Module, and is used by most programs that request
+ authentication on your computer. It allows the administrator to
+ configure specific authentication behavior for different login programs
+ (such as ssh, login GUI, screensaver, etc.)
+ </p><p class="para block">
+ PAM is complicated and highly configurable, and this documentation does
+ not intend to explain this in detail. Instead, it is intended to give
+ an overview of how PAM configuration relates with GDM, how PAM is
+ commonly configured with GDM, and known issues. It is expected that
+ a person needing to do PAM configuration would need to do further
+ reading of PAM documentation to understand how to configure PAM and
+ to understand terms used in this section.
+ </p><p class="para block">
+ PAM configuration has different, but similar, interfaces on different
+ Operating Systems, so check the
+ <a class="ulink" href="man:pam.d" title="man:pam.d">pam.d</a> or
+ <a class="ulink" href="man:pam.conf" title="man:pam.conf">pam.conf</a> man page for
+ details. Be sure to you read the PAM documentation and are comfortable
+ with the security implications of any changes you intend to make to
+ your configuration.
+ </p><p class="para block">
+ Note that, by default, GDM uses the "gdm" PAM service name
+ for normal login and the "gdm-autologin" PAM service name for
+ automatic login. These services may not be defined in your pam.d or
+ pam.conf configured file. If there is no entry, then GDM will use the
+ default PAM behavior. On most systems this should work fine.
+ However, the automatic login feature may not work if the gdm-autologin
+ service is not defined.
+ </p><p class="para block">
+ The <span class="filename">PostLogin</span> script is run before
+ pam_open_session is called, and the <span class="filename">PreSession</span>
+ script is called after. This allows the system administrator to add
+ any scripting to the login process either before or after PAM
+ initializes the session.
+ </p><p class="para block">
+ If you wish to make GDM work with other types of authentication
+ mechanisms (such as a fingerprint or SmartCard reader), then you should
+ implement this by using a PAM service module for the desired
+ authentication type rather than by trying to modify the GDM code
+ directly. Refer to the PAM documentation on your system. How to do
+ this is frequently discussed on the
+ <div class=" block address block-first block-verbatim"><span class="email"><<a href="mailto:gdm-list gnome org" title="Send email to ‘gdm-list gnome org’.">gdm-list gnome org</a>></span></div> mail list,
+ so you can refer to the list archives for more information.
+ </p><p class="para block">
+ PAM does have some limitations regarding being able to work with
+ multiple types of authentication at the same time, like supporting
+ the ability to accept either SmartCard and the ability to type the
+ username and password into the login program. There are techniques
+ that are used to make this work, and it is best to research how this
+ problem is commonly solved when setting up such a configuration.
+ </p><p class="para block">
+ If automatic login does not work on a system, check to see if the
+ "gdm-autologin" PAM stack is defined in the PAM configuration. For
+ this to work, it is necessary to use a PAM module that simply does no
+ authentication, or which simply returns PAM_SUCCESS from all of its
+ public interfaces. Assuming your system has a pam_allow.so PAM module
+ which does this, a PAM configuration to enable "gdm-autologin" would
+ look like this:
+ </p><div class=" block screen block-indent"><pre class="screen"> gdm-autologin auth required pam_unix_cred.so.1

+ gdm-autologin session sufficient pam_allow.so.1
+ gdm-autologin password sufficient pam_allow.so.1
+</pre></div><p class="para block">

+ goes over the wire as clear text. If snooping is possible, then an
+ attacker could simply snoop your authentication password as you log in,
+ regardless of the authentication scheme being used. If snooping is
+ possible and undesirable, then you should use ssh for tunneling an X
+ connection rather then using XDMCP. You could think of XDMCP as a sort

+ This section discusses helpful tips for getting GDM working. In general,
+ if you have a problem using GDM, you can submit a bug or send an email
+ to the gdm-list mailing list. Information about how to do this is in
+ the Introduction section of the document.
+ </p><p class="para block">
+ If GDM is failing to work properly, it is always a good idea to include
+ debug information. To turn on debug, launch gdm with the --debug
+ option. Then use GDM to the point where it fails, and debug output will
+ be sent to your system log
+ (<span class="filename"><var>/log/messages</span> or
+ <span class="filename"><var>/adm/messages</span> depending on your Operating
+ System). If you share this output with the GDM community via a bug
+ report or email, please only include the GDM related debug information
+ and not the entire file since it can be large. If you do not see any
+ GDM syslog output, you may need to configure syslog (refer to the
+ <a class="ulink" href="man:syslog" title="man:syslog">syslog</a> man page).

+ There are a many problems that can cause GDM to fail to start, but
+ this section will discuss a few common problems and how to approach
+ tracking down a problem with GDM starting. Some problems will
+ cause GDM to respond with an error message or dialog when it tries
+ to start, but it can be difficult to track down problems when GDM
+ fails silently.
+ </p><p class="para block">
+ First make sure that the Xserver is configured properly. The
+ GDM configuration file contains a command in the [server-Standard]
+ section that is used for starting the Xserver. Verify that this
+ command works on your system. Running this command from the
+ console should start the Xserver. If it fails, then the problem
+ is likely with your Xserver configuration. Refer to your Xserver
+ error log for an idea of what the problem may be. The problem may
+ also be that your Xserver requires different command-line options.
+ If so, then modify the Xserver command in the GDM configuration file
+ so that it is correct for your system.
+ </p><p class="para block">
+ Also make sure that the <span class="filename">/tmp</span> directory has
+ reasonable ownership and permissions, and that the machine's file
+ system is not full. These problems will cause GDM to fail to start.
