gdm thing

[kermit () TOWER COM AR (Kermit the Frog)]

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.
