gdmsetup is missing from Fedora 9 and 10. You’ll have to do it all from the commandline. Your gui was just a little hand-holding for the command-line handicapped anyway.

Here’s all I was looking to do:

[daemon]
TimedLoginEnable=true
TimedLogin=theuser

But the http://live.gnome.org/GDM/2.22/Configuration“>GDM 2.22 Configuration page has all the keys and what they mean.  Here’s where the configuration lives:

[theuser@thehost ~]$ ls -l /etc/gdm
total 28
-rw-r–r– 1 root root 69 2008-11-07 12:11 custom.conf
-rw-r–r– 1 root root 69 2009-01-18 09:13 custom.conf.livna-config-backup
-rw-r–r– 1 root root 2789 2008-11-07 12:11 gdm.schemas
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-11-30 12:38 Init
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-11-30 12:38 PostLogin
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-11-30 12:38 PostSession
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-11-30 12:38 PreSession
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2008-11-30 12:38 Xsession -> ../X11/xinit/Xsession
[theuser@thehost ~]$

So GDM is going through a rewrite. But why did Fedora have to change to this half-implemented version? Just because it’s in the svn trunk??? Why not stick with the 2.20 branch that still has all the features?
