Help Please: KDE refuses login to any client (WS incl.)
Dear experts,
this is eating my brain! So many things could be solved, but now nobody
can use the system any more at all.
This time it is no network problem (ssh login worked from/to any server)
nor is it a CPU load issue.
It started like this: About 8 users were able to login from their thin
clients. Then repeted tries were necessary until login worked -
otherwise after 3 or 4 seconds the login dialog reappeared without any
message.
From the teacher's PC (a workstation) I couldn't log in at all. So the
problem seems to be either from tjener or from kde, as there was no
error message. If I try to login as root using the RIGHT password,
there is a message "no root logins allowed" whicht shows the
authentification process is working.
I scanned some files in /var/log for error messages: There was a message
like: user "Lehrer" (teacher) -> kde authentification failed / logout
Now, is it a ldap problem? Or is the link between kdm and ldap broken?
As I didn't do any upgrades or updates when the error startet to occur,
maybe there is a chance to reboot the servers and everything is ok. (I
am at home now). Otherwise I could try to restore the backup from
yesterday tommorrow...
To avoid questions: yes, I did an apt-get upgrade on all servers an on
the workstation without success. And the ltspserver is not the tjener.
Thank you for any kind of fast help
Greetings
Ralf
