Subject: Re: killed gui...

Unfortunately, i'm not much of an expert on KDE2.  I just know that kdm
requires the ability to authenticate users, and it seems like that
ability is failing.  You didn't comment on my question, who built kdm
for you?  Was it precompiled already, or did you build it from source?
If its precompiled, and from a reputable source, then i'd assume that it
was built correctly.  If you built it, then i'd try building it again,
against your currently installed pam-libs and see if that makes a
difference.  THe thing that is quite odd is this line:
user: (uid=0) -> bill [remote: ?nobody@?nowhere]

First, uid=0 should be root.  So why is it claiming that 'bill' is
uid=0? Second, why is it claiming 'remote'?  ANd thirdly, doesn't your
box have a hostname, rather than "nobody@nowhere"?
All of this makes me think that the kdm that you're trying to use was
built for a different system, Debian, Slackware, or who knows what.  If
you could comment on this, it might help pin down the problem a bit
better.
