Hello there, I've modified the file /etc/X11/xdm/Xresources adding the line
xlogin*allowNullPasswd: true to enable graphical login fom a user without password but it didn't work. Checking in /ar/log/auth.log I noticed the following lines: Jan 15 18:56:34 DeeJay : (pam_securetty) access denied: tty ':0' is not secure ! Jan 15 18:56:34 DeeJay : (pam_securetty) access denied: tty ':0' is not secure ! Jan 15 18:56:34 DeeJay : (pam_unix) authentication failure; logname=root uid=0 euid=0 tty=:0 ruser= rhost= user=XXX where XXX is the username of the user without password. Now I'm wondering why the "logname" is root and why I have to add a line containing ":0" in /etc/securetty . Is this the expected behaviour? Why is it using logname "root"? Thinking of a bug I tried downgrading from 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 (which is the one that have the problem) to 4.1.0-16woody5 and it worked even without :0 in /etc/securetty. Which one is wrong? Or maybe it's just a new feature? Thank you.
