<div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12;">We have our own illumos kernel fork on github, with customizations. I may consider to change the delivered pam.conf to include my lightdm entries, once it works. The problem here, I think is not yet about pam. It's not even arrived at pam calls yet. LightDM just sits waiting for a SIGUSR1 from X never arriving.... I compared the code from lxdm (currently working, even pam), and I found this in lxdm, just after spawing X: g_message("add xserver watch\n"); for( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) { if(lxcom_last_sig==SIGINT || lxcom_last_sig==SIGTERM) break; if((s->dpy=xconn_open(display))!=NULL) break; g_usleep(50 * 1000); //g_message("retry %d\n",i); } <div> looks like a loop to check for a signal different from SIGINT||SIGTERM, and trying to XOpenDisplay for some time, until it works or give up. Maybe this is a fallback for SIGUSR1 not coming in?

I don't think there have been any changes, if you use XNV gate from Oracle everything should still work as described in the presentation I referenced, have a look at it, it even provides links to the sdtlogin implementation. > 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? There are no pam files in Illumos, it only has a single static /etc/pam.conf, see http://src.illumos.org/source/xref/illumos-gate/usr/src/lib/libpam/pam.conf So you either need to patch the PAM service names lightdm uses and try to re-use the ones gdm uses or adapt pam.conf. The latter would be a problem if you intended to create an IPS package of lightdm, /etc/pam.conf is delivered by SUNWcs and there is no way of amending it. -- Guido Berhoerster _______________________________________________ LightDM mailing list LightDM@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/lightdm </tt></blockquote></div>
