Yes, there is a gdm group but my user is not part of it. I will test it later since I cannot logout right now, but where did you find a reference for this? Searching for a reference myself, I found this not really related but interesting (https://help.gnome.org/admin/gdm/stable/security.html.en): "The only special privilege the "gdm" user requires is the ability to read and write Xauth files to the <var>/run/gdm directory. The <var>/run/gdm directory should have root:gdm ownership and 1777 permissions." My /var/run/gdm has different permissions: drwx--x--x 3 root gdm 60 May 23 10:19 gdm I did not change or create this directory so it must be the default created by the ebuild. Can anyone confirm that with these permissions gdm works correctly? raffaele
