Good idea; but, nogo ;<
/etc/pam.d/wdm -- *does not* exist!
The only file I can find under /etc that includes any reference to
pam_condev.so is:
cat /etc/pam.d/xdm
#%PAM-1.0
auth required pam_nologin.so
auth required pam_env.so
auth required pam_unix.so
account required pam_unix.so
password required pam_unix.so
session required pam_unix.so
session optional pam_condev.so
What do you think?

Dare to fix things before they break . . .
Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much we
think we know. The more I know, the more I know I don't know . . .
