Found the solution, yeeha :-) I found entries to pam in ~/.gnome2/session I edited the file, but the entries came back immediately so i opened a tty, and did init 3 vi ~/.gnome2/session Deleted all entries refering to pam completely (indicated by the numbers at the beginning of the line) Changed the value num_clients (one more than highest client-number in file, because it starts from 0) init 5
And now it seems to be OK... I'm sure I didn't had to give such an explination at the [experts]-list, but maybe some less-experienced user like myself tries a search on this subject :-) Steven On Mon, 2003-06-02 at 01:36, Steven Broos wrote: > Since I've tried to run harddrake, I have something strange with PAM. > In my notification panel is now a blank space (size of an icon) and my > process-list looks a little overcrowded by pam. > I can kill them, but it comes back every time.
