I have a simple warning coming up:
gdm-binary[pidnum]: WARNING: gdn_config_parse: Logdir /var/log/gdm does not exist or isn't a directory. Using ServAuthDir /var/lib/gdm
Now if I create that directory and restart gdm everyone is happy. But since I use tmpfs to mount /var/log - Its a netbook, I dont want to log the drive to death ;-) it complains everytime it boots. I wouldnt mind if it went ahead and created its logdir but for some reason it doesnt.
Is there anyway to stop gdm from even writing logs? syslog isnt running as a demon on the box.
Thanks,

You could use the inittab method instead, then gdm wouldn't be used at all.

I am using the innitab method
the line is :
x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/gdm -nodaemon
I could dump all output to /dev/null but thats ugly. I'd rather get rid of the loggin entirely
