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/kde3/kdm/Xsetup +and +.I /etc/kde3/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) |
