    Hello! while trying this new soft to replace the ``old'' xdm, I found out
    that if a wrong passwd is supplied, gdm will answer with a ``incorrect
    password'' message. So I tried to log in as an inexistent user ... the
    result was "user unknown". The vulnerabilty seems trivial to me.
    
    The version tested was gdm-2.0beta4.
    
    Best regards.
