I'll sure try that and let you know how it goes... tomorrow. I'm sort of
tired right now. :-)
Thanks a lot for your reply.
In the meantime, I also found this information in the archives of one of
the Gnome mailing lists:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-list/1999-November/msg00685.html
The developer explains:
"gdm used to save a pointer to libc's passwd struct for later
use. However, some PAM setups change the struct and it usually ends
up containing an entry for root (See Gnome bug #2487).
This has been fixed for some time, but I've been completely swamped at
work. I'll try and make a beta5 release within a day or two."
Only problem is that he wrote that back in November 1999, and to date
I haven't been able to find a beta 5 anywhere on the Internet. I also
sent a message to him to see if he could help.
Please, let me know if you have any other suggestions.
