Fix command to enable user greeter
I thought the first one worked, but it failed on another setup I
installed recently. Unless I'm mistaken, this cannot actually work:
the process *spawned by sudo* (cat) has root privileges; the sudo
process itself is run as the regular user, therefore the redirection
fails.
