Hi. I was at a bug squashing party this week and Geoff and I spent some time with this bug.
As best we can tell pam_authenticate is called by /usr/bin/kdm not some slave as in gdm3. kdm does support a reload target. However we were not able to get kdm to work correctly when we logged out of a session. So we were not able to test 1) whether it reloads itself all the time thus reloading libpam 2) Whether it does something sane with the reload target in this instance. I think the next steps, which I'm unlikely to be in a position to perform any time soon, are to: 1) see if kdm reload kills the current session. If so, there's a kdm bug. 2) If kdm re-execs itself all the time. If so, libpam0g should just ignore kdm. 3) Whether kdm reload causes kdm to exec itself on next logout. If so, then there's an easy solution in li bpam0g. If not, there's a different kdm bug. I hope this helps. --Sam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
