might be useful to look at output of

rpm -Vq gdm

Craig

# rpm -Vq gdm
S.5....T c /etc/gdm/custom.conf
.M....G. /var/log/gdm

I have no idea what it means! ;)

Thanks!

are you running selinux? targeted? if so, are you checking the logs to
find errors and fixing them?

anyway, the selinux contexts are not an issue

chmod 755 /var/log/gdm

I don't know anything about the entries in your 'custom.conf'
