After installing the GDM port the following message is output to the system console when GDM is started: Nov 4 09:05:41 mancuso gdmlogin[840]: Wrong permissions on /usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/Sessions//.keep_me. Should be readable/executable for all. Fix: chmod 755 /usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/Sessions/.keep_me (Admittedly, I have no idea what this file actually does, but adding execute perms makes the message go away) How-To-Repeat: Install GDM from ports and run it.
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports->gnome Over to maintainers.
State Changed From-To: open->closed Fixed. Thanks for reporting. FYI, this error was safe to ignore.
