Hello guys,
I did not use gdm for some time and now I'm not happy how it looks in Fedora 11. First of all - the list of local users is unacceptable from security reasons. Even if it supports such "an " option - how it can be the default one?!
Second problem I have is shutdown button (and possibly restart as well) - when you click on shutdown button by mistake, system will shut - there is no confirmation dialog.
I also tried to find some ways how to customize gdm in Fedora 11 but I did not find any usable guide.
Can anybody please advise me how can I have prompt asking for username only (showing last logged user at maximum) and not displaying the list of all local users? Also can I somehow add confirmation or remove shutdown restart buttons from gdm screen?
Or can you please advise any alternative to gdm?
Thank you very much,
Jan

I switched over to kdm - just edit /etc/sysconfig/desktop and enter
DISPLAYMANAGER=KDE
It doesn't display a list of users (or doesn't have to) and is themeable, and has a dialog after you select the shutdown option.

Chris
