At least with rpm's it was packaging issue: <from earlier mails> http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68331: creating /etc/pam.d/kde-np with the recommended content solved it. 1. Look in the directory /etc/pam.d for files named "kde", "xdm", or "kdm". 2. Assuming you find the file "kde", do the following: cd /etc/pam.d (echo "auth sufficient pam_permit.so"; cat kde) > kde-np If instead you find "xdm" or "kdm", replace "kde" by one of those in two places in the second line above. </from earlier mails> BR Kimmo Koivisto ___________________________________________________ .
