What do you mean by turning back to login screen? 'Login Denied' or does kdm restart? I had the problem that /lib/security/pam_console.so was missing pam_get_item or thelike. I found a similiar bug filed dor gdm in bugs.gentoo.org and the fix for this bug worked. do : ldd -r /lib/security/pam_console.so and if it says some missing symbol then apply the fix: #echo "/lib/libpam.so" >> /etc/ld.so.preload If that was your problem let me know and possible comment on the gdm bug Good Luck Roger -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
