<div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12;">Thanks Guido, our XStreamOS features recent xorg 1.14.5 as from oracle open repo. I assume those issues you talk about are already present in this. Do you think so? I will definetly look at the gdm patch sets to see if and how they can fit into lightdm. Anyway, XStreamOS Desktop does not include gdm at the moment (we would like to have lightdm instead). So I don't have pam files for gdm. Can you point me to some files to see around?

PAM policy is configured in /etc/pam.conf, I suppose you haven't set that up correctly. /etc/pam.d/ where LightDM installs its policy files is only supported on Solaris > 11.1 and thus does not work on Illumos. Furthermore you need to adapt the policy anyways, the existing GDM policy should be a good starting point to do that. There are other issues relating to proper Solaris integration as well, you need to patch in sdtlogin support so that the X server can safely drop root privileges on login, support logindevperm for correct device permissions and possibly RBAC in order to enable shutdown/reboot. For some pointers have a look at http://www.x.org/wiki/Events/XDC2012/XDC2012AbstractAlanCoopersmith/SolarisXorgPrivileges.pdf and the gdm patch sets at https://hg.openindiana.org/sustaining/oi_151a/spec-files/file/db10202d5f6d https://hg.java.net/hg/solaris-desktop~spec-files/file/a2add17d60e2 > BTW, is it absolutely necessary to have a lightdm user? I run it as root. The LightDM daemon runs with root privileges, however the greeter needs to run as an unprivileged user. Running a user-facing GUI for authentication with root privileges is just a security disaster waiting to happen.
