Yes, there is a gdm group but my user is not part of it. I will test it |
| 9 |
later since I cannot logout right now, but where did you find a |
| 10 |
reference for this? |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Searching for a reference myself, I found this not really related but |
| 13 |
interesting (https://help.gnome.org/admin/gdm/stable/security.html.en): |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
"The only special privilege the "gdm" user requires is the |
| 16 |
ability to read and write Xauth files to the <var>/run/gdm |
| 17 |
directory. The <var>/run/gdm directory should have root:gdm ownership |
| 18 |
and 1777 permissions." |

My /var/run/gdm has different permissions: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
drwx--x--x 3 root gdm 60 May 23 10:19 gdm |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
I did not change or create this directory so it must be the default |
| 25 |
created by the ebuild. Can anyone confirm that with these permissions |
| 26 |
gdm works correctly? |
