The rest of the file -consists of options which are expressed as words separated by hyphens, with -only one option per line. If an option is present with the \(oqno\-\(cq -prefix, or absent, it is disabled, otherwise it is considered enabled. -.PP -Available options are: -.TP -.B ignore\-nologin -Normally, the contents of the /etc/nologin file will be displayed using -.BR xmessage (1x) -(if -.B xmessage -is available), and the user will be returned to the kdm login screen after -the xmessage is dismissed. If this option is enabled, kdm starts a session -as usual (after the xmessage is dismissed, if xmessage is available). -.TP -.B restart\-on\-upgrade -Enable this option with caution on \(oqproduction\(cq machines; it causes -the kdm daemon to be stopped and restarted on upgrade, even if the process -has children (which means it is managing X sessions). Typically when a -package that contains a daemon is being installed or upgraded, its -maintainer scripts stop a running daemon process before installing the new -binary, and restart it after the new binary is installed. Stopping kdm -causes immediate termination of any sessions it manages; in some situations -this could be an unwelcome surprise (for instance, for remote kdm users who -had no idea the administrator was performing system maintenance). On the -other hand, for machines that stay up for long periods of time, leaving the -old daemon running can be a bad idea if the new version has, for instance, -a fix for a security vulnerability (overwriting kdm's executable on the -file system has no effect on the copy of kdm in memory). The kdm -pre\-removal script checks to see if the kdm process has any children; if -it does, it is possible that someone's session would be killed by stopping -kdm, so a warning is issued and an opportunity to abort the upgrade of kdm -is provided. If this option is disabled (the Debian default), kdm will be -not be stopped or started during an install or upgrade; the administrator -will have to do so by hand (with \(oq/etc/init.d/kdm restart\(cq, or by -rebooting the system) before the newly installed kdm binary is used. -.TP -.B use\-sessreg -If this option is enabled (the Debian default), the sessreg program will be -invoked to register X sessions managed by kdm in the utmp and wtmp files. -Otherwise, it is not, and the utmp and wtmp files will have no record of -kdm sessions. -.PP -Users of older versions of the Debian system should note that the -\(oqrun\-xconsole\(cq option has been removed. Shell scripts named -.I /etc/trinity/kdm/Xsetup -and -.I /etc/trinity/kdm/Xreset -can be edited to disable or modify the running of xconsole on the kdm -greeter screen; see the -.B kdm -manual page for more information. -.SH AUTHOR -This manpage was written by Branden Robinson for the Debian Project. -.SH SEE ALSO -.BR sessreg (1x), -.BR xmessage (1x), -.BR kdm (1x) |
