sdm-login

NAME

sdm-login − prompts a user for login

SYNOPSIS

sdm-login

DESCRIPTION

presents the user with a login screen, using Xdialog(1), similar to the xdm(1) login prompt. instead of using the XDMCP protocol, sdm-login uses ssh(1) X11 Forwarding to encrypt the entire ssh session.

configuration options are defined in /etc/sdm/sdm.config and /etc/sdm/sdm.config.$hostname

if autologin is set to yes, the login prompt will not be displayed, and sdm-login will attempt to log in as the same user as the hostname of the system, unless the user variable is defined in one of the configuration files.

FILES

/etc/sdm/sdm.config /etc/sdm/sdm.config.$hostname

BUGS

does not respond properly to kill signals.
