Topic

Updated gdm packages that fix a bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 6 Extended Update Support.

Description

The GNOME Display Manager (GDM) is a highly configurable reimplementation of
XDM, the X Display Manager. GDM allows you to log into your system with the X
Window System running and supports running several different X sessions on your
local machine at the same time.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • When gdm was used to connect to a server via XDMCP (X Display Manager Control

Protocol), another connection to a remote system using the "ssh -X" command
resulted in wrong authorization with the X server. Consequently, applications
such as xterm could not be displayed on the remote system. This update provides
a compatible MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key in the described scenario, thus fixing this
bug. (BZ#860645)

All users of gdm are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
