gdmsetup

The gdmsetup application can be used to configure GDM. If you believe running root-owned GUI's causes security risk, then you would want to always edit the files by hand and not use gdmsetup. Editing the files by hand is explained in the "Configuration" section of this document. Note that gdmsetup does not support changing of all configuration variables, so it may be necessary to edit the files by hand for some configurations.

The gdmsetup program has five tabs: Local, Remote, Accessibility, Security, and Users, described below. In parenthesis is information about which GDM configuration key is affected by each GUI choice. Refer to the "Configuration" section of this manual and the comments in the /gdm/defaults.conf file for additional details about each key.
