Bug#268036: kdm doesn't work with libpam-ldap

[Donald Thompson <dlt@lunanet.biz>]

Package: kdm
Version: 4:3.3.0-1

kdm does not allow login for ldap users. I tried using the stock
/etc/pam.d/kdm configuration without modification, and that has not
worked. I've got the appropriate pam_ldap.so entries in my
/etc/pam.d/common-* files to allow ldap authentication, and ldap
authentication appears to work with everything (ssh, login, xdm) but kdm. I
noticed the /etc/pam.d/kdm file was slightly different from the /etc/pam.d/xdm
file, so I changed the kdm file to be identical, to no avail.

Kdm appears to succesfully authenticate, but the ldap users window manager
never starts. After you input username/password, the login screen
disappears, and it looks like the X server restarts, and a second or two
later I'm back at the kdm login. Local users from /etc/passwd have no
problems logging in under kdm. If I have xdm running as the graphical
login manager, it has no problem logging in ldap users.

I get no logging as to what might be the problem in /var/log/auth.log,
/var/log/kdm.log, /var/log/XFree86.log, and nothings in
the users ~/.xsession-errors file.

Thanks.
