Package: kdm Version: 4:3.3.0-1 kdm does not allow login for ldap users. I tried using the stock /etc/pam.d/kdm configuration without modification, and that has not worked. I've got the appropriate pam_ldap.so entries in my /etc/pam.d/common-* files to allow ldap authentication, and ldap authentication appears to work with everything (ssh, login, xdm) but kdm. I noticed the /etc/pam.d/kdm file was slightly different from the /etc/pam.d/xdm file, so I changed the kdm file to be identical, to no avail.
Kdm appears to succesfully authenticate, but the ldap users window manager never starts. After you input username/password, the login screen disappears, and it looks like the X server restarts, and a second or two later I'm back at the kdm login. Local users from /etc/passwd have no problems logging in under kdm. If I have xdm running as the graphical login manager, it has no problem logging in ldap users. I get no logging as to what might be the problem in /var/log/auth.log, /var/log/kdm.log, /var/log/XFree86.log, and nothings in the users ~/.xsession-errors file. Thanks. -Don
