Starting with FC9 (Gnome 2.22.3 current I think) GDMSetup was removed due
to changes in which layers were handling the login screens/themes etc(By
Gnome I'm told). This contiues to date to be true with the advent of FC10
and new GNome. In fairness it is possible to configure xdmcp, but its a bit
spotty and seems to break every-other update.
Enough background, my real question is where is Gnome going for
authenticated, secured remote control of Gnome equipped boxes, I've looked
into VNC, and it does not allow me to initiate a new session remotely and
authenticate the way Xnest/X will allow using XDMCP nor does vinagre provide
any other functionality I am aware of other than a VNC module. (I may be
ignorant on this issue but I'm all googled out on it.) I think its great
that most distros are becoming C3 capable with SELinux and Gnome locking and
enterprise type policies, but I'm of a class where simpler is better, I rely
on my hardware firewall to the external world and local/ldap/ad
authentication to the inernal world w/out the need of tunneling VNC/Xdmcp in
my controlled hardware enviorment.
Is there something cooking that will fill my needs or do we have a few
holes to patch up ? Any suggestions or ideas welcome.
Regards
Chuck
