    hi,
    i have tried to set up the Gnome Desktop Manager on my freshly installed
    4.8-STABLE box, but some errors refuse to disappear:

    error msg:
    gdm_config_parse: Authdir /usr/X11R6/share/gnome/gdm is not owned by
    user nobody, group gdm. Aborting.

    _________________________
    what i have already done:

    #pkg_info -L gdm2-2.4.1.3
    /usr/X11R6/bin/gdm
    ...

    added this line in the group file in /etc/
    gdm:*:11:

    same for passwd in /etc/
    gdm:*:11:11:Gnome Desktop Manager:/usr/X11R6/etc/gdm:/sbin/nologin

    and set the entry in the /etc/ttys to
    /gdm on

    i couldn' manage to set the owner of the dir/files: (why?!)

    /usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/
    drwxr-xr-x 3 root gdm 512 May 29 18:47 gdm

    gdm.conf in /usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root gdm 2628 May 31 10:20 gdm.conf

    #chown gdm .keep_me
    chown: gdm: illegal user name
    _____________________________

    what am i doing wrong?!

    any help will be appreciated;-)
    thanx in advance
