Bug#762402: RFP: pam-kwallet -- KWallet integration with PAM



This is a correction to the procedure described above. Instead of adding the 
lines to lightdm-greeter,
> -auth optional pam_kwallet.so
> -session optional pam_kwallet.so auto_start
should instead be added to /etc/pam.d/lightdm (without "-greeter" in the 
name).

Please note the leading minus sign in the lines above. They avoid logged 
errors if the pam-kwallet package is not installed and the above 
pam_kwallet.so entries are present.

I do not know if there is any advantage in putting these lines into lightdm-
greeter. Just putting them into lightdm works.

Kind regards
Patrick
