[Kde-kiosk] Hostnames allowable in kdmrc

[Ragnar Wisloff]

I'm trying to get autologin going in an environment where the thin 
clients (kiosk boxen) are given names like ltsp-010. This is an 
acceptable hostname according to RFC 952. But if I put a line in 
kdmrc to identify such a host: 
 
[X-ltsp-010:0-Core] 
AutoLoginEnable=true 
 
It returns an error: 
 
Unrecognized section name [X-ltsp-010:0-Core] at /etc/kde2/kdm/kdmrc 
 
I have tried escaping the hyphen like so: 
 
[X-ltsp\-010:0-Core] 
 
And various other quoting solutions like e.g. 
 
[X-"ltsp-010":0-Core] 
 
but all to no avail. Is there a way around this *other than* 
changing the DNS/DHCP setup which serves up those names? 
 
If not, perhaps some of the good people on this list knows what is a 
good place to go to try to get kdmrc to accept RFC 952-compliant 
host names?
