Configuration Information
To enable secure remote connections you must have Zenity, OpenSSH and which installed add the following argument to your configure command:
--enable-secureremote=yes

Configuring GDM
The default configuration parameters are stored in a static file ($GNOME_PREFIX/share/gdm/defaults.conf). This file is not intended to be edited. If modification of the configuration is necessary, you should add parameters to the /etc/gnome/gdm/custom.conf file. The settings in this file will override the settings in the static file. The same parameters in the static file are used in the configuration file.
Change the directory containing the GDM log files to the /var/log hierarchy:
install -v -m755 -d /var/log/gdm &&
sed -i.orig "/\[daemon\]/ a LogDir=/var/log/gdm" \
/etc/gnome/gdm/custom.conf &&
rmdir -v /var/lib/log/gdm &&
rmdir -v /var/lib/log
