Well, SAK I always seemed as pointless. At home, at school, at work, I
never saw usefulness. However, there is no need to discuss the usefulness
of the SAK, but that kdm seems to be ill. And #690, therefore, seems
unresolved.

I missed the part where you were actually talking about what SAK
implements.
maybe you should read up on it:

Calvin Morrison So I have to confirm the observations from Jiri
Jansky - kdm_greet
is still sick. And SAK from now I consider not only the futility but
complete stupidity. :)
For home users, it is complete stupidity IMO. How many people have
friends or relatives who are going to hack the login screen, anyway?
For businesses, schools, etc. that will have a lot of people logging
in, I can certainly understand having it enabled, provided it works
right. Even then, if the business/school/etc. sets up their
read/write permissions correctly and are as careful as possible who
they provide root access to, they shouldn't have to worry. Besides,
if they give root access to someone who's untrustworthy, that would
invalidate any reason for having SAK enabled.
