PAM Console Access with CDE

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

We are running RedHat 8.0 on desktop machines with Xi Graphics' CDE 
(Common Desktop Environment) v3.0.  Unfortunately, dtlogin, which is the 
login mechanism of CDE, does not support PAM.  Thus, when a user logs in 
on the console, permissions on the video, sound, etc. devices are not set 
properly - the user cannot use the video camera or play sound files.  (The 
permissions _are_ set correctly when the user logs in under Gnome or from 
a text login.)

My question: is there a way to "trick" PAM into thinking that a console 
login occurs when a CDE login does?  

I have requested that Xi Graphics to add PAM support, but this may take 
some time.

Thank you,
Scott Talbert
