Hello Chris!
Thanks a lot. That fixed the problem.
Yes,the file /etc/pam.d/kdm from KDE 3.2.2 looks like this:
@include common-auth
@include common-account
@include common-password
@include common-session
auth required pam_nologin.so
auth required pam_env.so
session required pam_limits.so
I have taken /etc/pam.d/kdm from (my old) KDE 3.1.5 installation:
#%PAM-1.0
auth required pam_nologin.so
auth required pam_unix.so shadow nullok
auth required pam_env.so
account required pam_unix.so
session required pam_unix.so
session required pam_limits.so
# (Remove `md5' after the module name to disable MD5 passwords
password required pam_unix.so nullok obscure min=4 max=8 md5
# Alternate strength checking for password. Note that this
# requires the libpam-cracklib package to be installed.
# You will need to comment out the password line above and
# uncomment the next two in order to use this.
# (Replaces the `OBSCURE_CHECKS_ENAB', `CRACKLIB_DICTPATH')
#
# password required pam_cracklib.so retry=3 minlen=6 difok=3
# password required pam_unix.so use_authtok nullok md5
Additionally, i have removed /etc/pam.d/kdm-np (What is it for? It was not
in 3.1.5 ...).
Now kdm works as expected again!
Bye, Steffen
