Free gdm software for linux

GDM is the GNOME Display Manager is the graphical login manager.
The GNOME Display Manager is a reimplementation of the well known xdm program. GDM consists of a daemon and a graphical login application which runs as an unpriviledged user.
The login GUI features a face browser, an optional logo, and language/session type selection support. The daemon includes an XDMCP implementation for managing remote displays. Access control relies on TCPWrappers.
Enhancements:
- Fix for CVE-2007-3381, a denial of service attack where the user can crash the GDM daemon with a carefuly crafted GDM sockets command and cause GDM to stop managing future displays. GDM now is much better about safegarding against NULL values returned from g_strsplit calls. (Brian Cameron)
- Translation updates (Christophe Merlet)

gdbm is a database indexing library replacement for the traditional dbm and ndbm libraries.

gdm is useful for those who need to write C applications and need access to a simple and efficient database.

BrushedMetal is a GDM Theme.

Original login elements work from pyros:

All I did was move some elements around to compensate for the background.

Auth2db parses auth.log files and inserts details about logins into a MySQL database.

The project allows you to display in the shell or in a Web front-end the date and time, IP, username and service (ssh, smb, login, su, gdm, etc.) for each login.

Fedora Linux brings you a powerful Linux operating system which is built from open source software. The Fedora Project is an openly-developed project designed by Red Hat, open for general participation, led by a meritocracy, following a set of project objectives.

The goal of The Fedora Project is to work with the Linux community to build a complete, general purpose operating system exclusively from open source software. Development will be done in a public forum. The project will produce time-based releases of Fedora Core about 2-3 times a year, with a public release schedule.

The Red Hat engineering team will continue to participate in building Fedora Core and will invite and encourage more outside participation than in past releases. By using this more open process, we hope to provide an operating system more in line with the ideals of free software and more appealing to the open source community.

Quick and dirty perl script to allow you to log directly into games via GDM, making sure you have the maximum RAM and CPU time for the game.

It uses a simple XML config file to control its various options, and supports controlling driver settings for Nvidia cards. See the README for more info.

SDL_sound is a library that handles the decoding of several popular sound file formats, such as .WAV and .MP3. It is meant to make the programmers sound playback tasks simpler. The programmer gives SDL_sound a filename, or feeds it data directly from one of many sources, and then reads the decoded waveform data back at her leisure.
If resource constraints are a concern, SDL_sound can process sound data in programmer-specified blocks. Alternately, SDL_sound can decode a whole sound file and hand back a single pointer to the whole waveform. SDL_sound can also handle sample rate, audio format, and channel conversion on-the-fly and behind-the-scenes, if the programmer desires.
As the name implies, SDL_sound is an add-on to Simple Directmedia Layer, and as such, youll need it to build and use SDL_sound. SDL gives us lots of convenience for porting and implementing some elements of the library, not to mention that it is a powerful, cross platform answer to DirectX. You should definitely look into it, whether you use SDL_sound or not.
Places SDL_sound is known to be used:
- The Ambient Music System uses SDL_sound in its player module.
- The popular game glTron uses SDL_sound for sound playback.
- Dominik Haumann wrote in to mention C++ wrappers for SDL_sound, which can be found here.
- MusicBox, a GNUstep music manager, uses SDL_sound to decode various audio formats.
- The SuSE Linux distribution has been know to package SDL_sound (at least version 0.1.5 has been spotted in the wild).
- Gentoo Linux distributes SDL_sound via their "portage" system. Just "emerge sdl-sound".
- FreeBSD has SDL_sound in their Ports tree: herere the details.
- NetBSD Appears to have packaged SDL_sound, too: details.
- Debian has packaged SDL_sound, too: details.
- ROCK Linux has an SDL_sound package: details.
- Probably other places. Email me if you want to be listed here.
