I have a hunch the problem is a PAM problem. I have all the outstanding problems with xorg (i.e. via-driver,xkb, dri) solved . And login via kdm still fails. I did a tail of var/log/auth.log. It is shown below:- ########tail of var/log/auth.log May 17 00:51:05 clfsX6408b -:0: PAM _pam_load_conf_file: unable to open /etc/pam.d/common-session May 17 00:51:05 clfsX6408b -:0: PAM unable to dlopen(/lib/security/pam_resmgr.so): /lib/security/pam_resmgr.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory May 17 00:51:05 clfsX6408b -:0: PAM adding faulty module: /lib/security/pam_resmgr.so May 17 00:51:05 clfsX6408b -:0: PAM _pam_load_conf_file: unable to open /etc/pam.d/common-auth May 17 00:51:05 clfsX6408b -:0: PAM _pam_load_conf_file: unable to open /etc/pam.d/common-account May 17 00:51:05 clfsX6408b -:0: PAM _pam_load_conf_file: unable to open /etc/pam.d/common-password May 17 00:51:05 clfsX6408b -:0: PAM _pam_load_conf_file: unable to open /etc/pam.d/common-session May 17 00:51:05 clfsX6408b -:0: PAM unable to dlopen(/lib/security/pam_resmgr.so): /lib/security/pam_resmgr.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory May 17 00:51:05 clfsX6408b -:0: PAM adding faulty module: /lib/security/pam_resmgr.so May 17 00:52:14 clfsX6408b kdm: :0[2198]: pam_warn(kde:auth): function=[pam_sm_authenticate] service=[kde] terminal=[:0] user=[forker] ruser=[<unknown>] rhost=[<unknown>] ======= and here are the contents of /etc/pam.d chfn chgpasswd chpasswd chsh cups fcron fcrontab groupadd groupdel groupmems groupmod halt kdm login newusers other passwd polkit poweroff reboot su system-auth useradd userdel usermod vsftpd xdm xscreensaver I certainly do no have /etc/pam.d (common-sesion, common-account and common-password) nor the library /lib/security/pam_resmgr.so I am using linux-PAM -1.0.2 with a recipe form here http://cblfs.cross-lfs.org/index.php/PAM_Library ideas anyone? lux-integ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
