pam 2.20.2-1 (currently in unstable) includes PAM configuration for using pam_gnome_keyring.so. Could you try again after upgrading to that version? Make sure that you replace your version of the config file with a fresh copy when prompted by dpkg. -- Sam Morris http://robots.org.uk/ PGP key id 1024D/5EA01078 3412 EA18 1277 354B 991B C869 B219 7FDB 5EA0 1078 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
