$HOME/.dmrc error persists

[nitao]

Hi~

I persistantly have problem with $HOME/.dmrc. It says "it is being ignored". Such problem has been reported before, and it should be easy to fix by "chown" and "chmod". I am using the root user, and I just use chown root /root and chmod 644 .dmrc. However, it persistantly pops up error message.

Am I missing anything?

Thanks

I am having the same problem here. Also chmodded the .dmrc file ownership was allready root:root

I have no idea what the problem is. Probably selinux policy????

In /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf change the RelaxPermissions=0 to RelaxPermissions=1.
Log out or reboot and login again.
For me this was finaly the solution.

The dmrc files can only be used by the owner. So for the root user, the dmrc file should be able to be read and written to by root, and that's it. That means the Owner permissions for each file, no matter what Group it is, Groups are Forbidden. So the root user dmrc for instance is Owner=rw Group=Forbidden Others=Forbidden.

You probably have the Group(root) being able to be written by root as well, only the top left most TWO CHECKBOXES in Advanced Permissions should be checked.

change the RelaxPermissions=0 to RelaxPermissions=1.

Turning off your security is never the solution.
