Gdm on my test machine F12 Alpha x86_64 doesn't give me a login user entry field I thought i might have been something I did wrong but Vincent@redhat is also reporting the same thing on F12Beta as a comment here(Don't think it is linked to that bug though) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=502072
Is anyone else having or has seen the issue in F12beta or alpha and fixed it?
Vincents comments Ummm... I'm not sure if this is due to the use of bind_policy soft, but at gdm I have no user entry field. I see Suspend, Restart, Shut Down, and Log In, and when clicking on Log In it just recycles the gdm screen. I can, however, login at the console just fine. .<snip>.... nscd is installed and running, and even after a reboot (hoping perhaps the nscd cache would persist to present this information), still no way to login via gdm.
My comment My root was allowed to login at gdm but can't. when you type over the login part of the screen, a box shows up with your typing (maybe a search box for users??) but it doesn't use these entries for logging in. Same results when /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list true and when false. I have a custom.conf in gdm that does this [security] DisallowTCP=false [xdmcp] HonorIndirect=false
This is not in Bugzilla yet as I wasn't sure it was not something I misconfigured but with someone else having the same issue....

It's already in bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=527920 Same symptoms. As a workaround I'm using kdm.
