Slim is a lightweight login manager based on GNUstep's Login.app
|
|
|
|
|
It makes a great replacement for XDM for those who want something
|
|
|
|
|
that looks good, but still do not want Gnome or KDE.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This package also includes a BSD-style rc.d script to start slim;
|
|
|
|
|
you will need to make /etc/rc.d/rc.slim executable:
|
|
|
|
|
chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/rc.slim

|

|
Also, you will need to add something like this to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
|
|
|
|
|
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.slim ]; then
|
|
|
|
|
/etc/rc.d/rc.slim start
|
|
|
|
|
fi

|
Note that your system should use runlevel 3 for this to work.
|
|
|
|
|
I (rworkman) did a bit of tinkering to try and make slim work properly
|
|
|
|
|
from runlevel 4 (starting it from rc.4) a few versions ago, but I was
|
|
|
|
|
not successful, and it wasn't worth the effort to continue.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finally, if you have PAM installed and wish to build slim with support
|
|
|
|
|
for it, have a look inside the build script for instructions; otherwise,
|
|
|
|
|
it will work as is.
