Turn on gdm debug. Get traces.

Works for me with FC *but* I've had horrible problems if you get any
forward/reverse DNS mismatchs
That was it ! Many thanks :-)
The name resolver behaviour must have changed between core 2 and core
3? Im using dnsmasq for the LAN, the server configuration is unchanged
- it was working against RH9,core1 and core 2 !
http://thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html
I don't understand this nameresolver problem. Dig and nslookup say all
is fine, but ping says no - unless the name has an extra "."
I don't expect a tutorial, but which end is wrong, the name resolver
client in core 3 or the masqurading dns server ?
Cheers,
