Hi, list!

I have selected gdm to be my default session manager but it aborts with
following error msg:

gdm_config_parse: Authdir /var/lib/gdm is not owned by user gdm, group gdm.
Aborting.

When I do a 
# chown gdm.gdm /var/lib/gdm
# gdm

everything's fine. But at next boot time I have the same problem...

Any ideas?
