NAME

       genkdmconf - generate configuration files for kdm

SYNOPSIS

       genkdmconf [--in /path/to/new/kdm-config-dir]
                  [--old-xdm /path/to/old/xdm-dir]
                  [--old-kde /path/to/old/kde-config-dir]
                  [--no-old] [--no-old-xdm] [--no-old-kde] [--old-scripts]
                  [--no-old-scripts] [--old-confs] [--no-backup]
                  [--no-in-notice]

DESCRIPTION

       genkdmconf is used to generate configuration files for kdm.
       If  an  older xdm/kdm configuration is found, its config files are "absorbed"; if it lives
       in the new target directory, its scripts are  reused  (and  possibly  modified)  as  well,
       otherwise the scripts are ignored and default scripts are installed.

OPTIONS

       --in /path/to/new/kdm-config-dir
              In  which  directory  to  put  the new configuration. You can use this to support a
              $(DESTDIR), but not to change the final location of the installation  -  the  paths
              inside the files are not affected.
              Default is /etc/kde4/kdm.

       --old-xdm /path/to/old/xdm-dir
              Where  to  look  for  the  config  files  of an xdm / older kdm. Default is to scan
              /etc/X11/kdm, $XLIBDIR/kdm, /etc/X11/xdm, $XLIBDIR/xdm;  there  in  turn  look  for
              kdm-config and xdm-config.
              Note that you possibly need to use --no-old-kde to make this take effect.

       --old-kde /path/to/old/kde-config-dir
              Where to look for the kdmrc of an older kdm.
              Default is to scan /etc/kde4 and {/usr,/usr/local,
              {/opt,/usr/local}{kde3,kde,kde2,kde1}}/share/config.

       --no-old
              Don't look at older xdm/kdm configurations, just create default config.

       --no-old-xdm
              Don't look at older xdm configurations.

       --no-old-kde
              Don't look at older kdm configurations.

       --old-scripts
              Directly use all scripts from the older xdm/kdm configuration.

       --no-old-scripts
              Don't use scripts from the older xdm/kdm configuration even if it lives in the  new
              target directory.

       --old-confs
              Directly  use all ancillary config files from the older xdm/kdm configuration. This
              is usually a bad idea.

       --no-backup
              Overwrite/delete old config files instead of backing them up.

       --no-in-notice
              Don't put the notice about --in being used into the generated README.
