SDDM not supporting NIS (yellowpages) accounts?

English Install/Boot/Login
1

Hi there,

just installed tumbleweed on a machine which gets its user account data from an yp server. Login on the the cmd line works, but sddm only shows a long list of non existent user accounts, whose names seem to be taken from the ypserevers passwd file (i.e., it mixes and matches the user names).

Do I overlook the obvious or are NIS accounts not supported?

Thanks

Uli

For the record, this is my sddm.conf

[Users]

HideShells=/sbin/nologin,/bin/false

MinimumUid=499
MaximumUid=2000

[Autologin]
Relogin=false
Session=
User=

[General]
HaltCommand=
RebootCommand=

[Theme]
Current=breeze
CursorTheme=Adwaita

[XDisplay]
DisplayCommand=/etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup
MinimumVT=7
ServerPath=/usr/bin/X
SessionCommand=/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession

I think this isn’t supported (yet?), just like remote login e.g.

You can use another displaymanager though, kdm (still available in Tumbleweed) might be an option or lightdm, maybe even gdm.
(I’m not sure, never used NIS)

Just install the corresponding package (kdm, lightdm, or whatever) and set it in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager (DISPLAYMANAGER=“xxx”).
If you need further help, feel free to ask.

You might want to file a feature request for SDDM though, I don’t see this on their TODO list…
