Issue
-
XDMCP
MaxSessionsconfiguration in/etc/gdm/custom.confdoesn't work as expected in allRHEL6.xversions, which hasgdm 2.30.4. The clients are able to start more sessions than the value specified inMaxSessions. There is no declining of additional sessions when the client initiates it. All the sessions will be active for a few minutes and will start declining one by one automatically. Finally, the count of the resulting active session(s) comes below theMaxSessionsvalue. -
It is possible to initiate more number of XDMCP sessions than the value of
MaxSessions. The declining happens only after 5 to 10 minutes of waiting. Finally the resulting active sessions comes below theMaxSessionsvalue.
