Re: [gdm-list] Messed Up User on GDM

[Brian Cameron <Brian Cameron Sun COM>]

Asif:

This sounds like a problem, perhaps a corruption, in your /etc/password
or /etc/group files.  If your "gdm" user is not recognized, then you
probably need to fix these files.

This probably isn't the best forum to get distro-specific help with
problems setting up a user or group, though.  Might be better to discuss
this with a forum which provides help specific to your distro.
