Please. I'm not "send me the directions how to set up ssl with my web server".
I've tried, as last resorts, find /var -type f -exec grep -il <username>/.face {} ; and in addition to /var, I tried /etc and /tmp, and the *only* thing grep gave me were the logfiles that had the entries.
But you clearly have ADD or something...
Why is that?
The file is probably referred in one of the .gnome*/.gconf* files inside the home directory. Just because the home is not mounted at the time of login it doesn't mean that the gdm-greeter won't mount it, then read its config files from there, then try to look for the missing file.
<snip> Oh, so the answer to my question is that gnome's simple greeter is reading *his* configuration files - is this as he's logging on? - from his home directory.
However, I don't see the message from any other server (and we have a good number), so I don't understand why it wouldn't show up from another 10-30 machines.
But obviously I'm missing something that you're overlooking in your over-familiarity with gnome and gnome-simple-greeter.
