I have a problem with kdm being slow to login (see bugzilla #60900). If I replace the pam_stack.so entries in /etc/pam.d/kde with the entries in /etc/pam.d/system-auth, it works without any delay. I wanted to rebuild kdebase with this fix in it, but I'm not sure if I will break anything. Some of our users user md5/shadow, and some of them use NIS for authentication. I added this line in /etc/pam.d/kde (from system-auth): password sufficient /lib/security/pam_umix.so nullok use_authtok md5 shadow I noticed that my NIS users have nis instead of md5/shadow (of course). My question is whether or not I can put something permanent on that line for both. E.g., can I add this line for all of them: password sufficient /lib/security/pam_umix.so nullok use_authtok md5 shadow nis Thanks, Forrest
