kde 4.4 with BOB's packages did /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc get modified?
I was looking to post my kdmrc file in another thread regarding xdmcp. I did not recognize the file as the one I modified to enable xdmcp sessions. There are several files that appear as .new .old and the only thing I can thinkof, is that when I installed the 4.4 packages the file was replaced. But that is odd since xdmcp is normally disabled by defaut and I know that it is working on my system?
Also the form of the kdmrc file is much different from all of the kdmrc.new kdmr.old etc. files. Does anyone know what this is all about?
Thanks. I'm not sure what has happened. I have this README in the /etc/kde/kdm directory
Code:
This automatically generated configuration consists of the following files:
- /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc
- /usr/share/config/kdm/Xaccess
- /usr/share/config/kdm/Xwilling
- /usr/share/config/kdm/Xsetup
- /usr/share/config/kdm/Xstartup
- /usr/share/config/kdm/Xreset
- /usr/share/config/kdm/Xsession
- /usr/share/config/kdm/backgroundrc
All files destined for /usr/share/config/kdm were actually saved in
/tmp/package-kdebase-workspace/usr/share/config/kdm; this config will not be
workable until moved in place.
This config was derived from existing files. As the used algorithms are
pretty dumb, it may be broken.
Information from these files was extracted:
- /etc/inittab
Try 'genkdmconf --help' if you want to generate another configuration.
You may delete this README.
and I'm just not sure how I got there, unless it was when I used the kde tools to change the greeter screen, but that seems like a lot of ediiting for such a simple change. I guess the thing to do is change the current file to one of known origin and monitor the situation. I don't see any obvious security risks greater than enabling xdmcp to begin with. It's quite odd.
