Re: GDM: and if I don't use PAM?

[Aschwin van der Woude <aschwin van der woude creanor com>]

The configure script of gdm detects if pam is installed and will use it
when it can IIRC.
It will probably fall back to basic passwd authentication, so you will
need to explicitly tell configure to use shadow passwords (
--enable-authentication-scheme=shadow) if you are using those.

Hope this helps,
