FWIW, I've joined a Devuan machine to a Windows AD domain with samba/winbind and have no problems logging in with a domain user from slim when properly setup. I'll admit it's not as nice as lightdm in that it doesn't show a list of previous login names, but it is basically functional as a GUI login screen.
I'll try installing lightdm to see how that goes on Devuan compared to Ubuntu. Does anyone recommend other display managers on Devuan? -- Tom > On 19 Jun 2017, at 21:09, Rowland Penny <rpenny241...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On Mon, 19 Jun 2017 20:34:49 +1000 > Tom <wirelessd...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Both slim and rsyslog are uninstallable on ascii.
