Hello everyone!

OK still trying to get graphical login working with SSSD + GDM, so 
here's more information about my system setup, with which I cannot login 
using an LDAP account through GDM.

	* I am using 6rolling
	* I am using base 6rolling install - nothing customized.
	* I am using SSSD (sssd-1.5.1-34.el6.x86_64) with LDAP for 
authentication and identification purposes.
	* I can log in as root
	* I can log in as a local user, created by root
	* Both the local user and root can log in using GDM (root, after 
editing pam.d/gdm)
	* I can log in with an LDAP account using SSH.
	* I can log in with an LDAP account into a terminal on the computer
	* When I go into runlevel 3 with "init 3" from a root account on a 
terminal, and log in as a user on another terminal, I can start X11 with 
the "startx" command.

When I attempt to login using an LDAP account, here is the behaviour 
that I get:
I click "other", enter my username, enter my password.   The busy cursor 
appears, and then the screen blacks out and returns me back to my login 
screen.

I figure there is something weird going on with GDM.

Unfortunately, GDM is being coy with any possible errors, and, even when 
I set debug=true in /etc/gdm/custom.conf I get a plethora of debugging 
messages, none of which seem to hint to any errors.  I can attach 
/etc/messages to an email if requested but I cannot see any errors.

Here is what "id ctooley" returns when I run it as root btw:

[root@heplw44 gdm]# id ctooley
uid=110233(ctooley) gid=110233 groups=110233,34244(hep)

Any clues in this would be immensely appreciated :)
Thanks!
