rdm

A display manager written in Rust. Inspired by Slim it aims to provide a simple and elegant login screen.

THIS IS A WIP AND HAS MAJOR ISSUES RELATED TO SECURITY!! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Current Problems/Questions

X authorization
- xauth cookie is generated but
  - not copied to ~/.Xauthority
  - XAUTHORITY environment variable is not set
- -> Investigate "best practices" and fix!
Session setup / PAM usage
- Session setup works(tm) but I am still not sure whether all "best practices" are followed
  - -> Review and validate pam-sys/pam-auth crates
- reboot/poweroff etc. fail with Failed to power off system via logind: Interactive authentication required.
  - -> Investigate whether this has something to do with systemd
systemd-logind support
- Investigate what this actually means
  - Do we need to link against libsystemd.so and call APIs from there?
- Implement or mark it as done
dbus support
- Is this required (maybe for systemd integration)?
- If so what methods do we need to support?
- (multi-)seat-API
Architecture
- Stay with simple client or use server-client to encapsulate login process
- Likely related to multiseat support
- Split into more crates (likely not justified)

Support common standards
- Linux PAM (in review)
- systemd-logind (?)
- dbus (?)
Basic theming support
