Hi @all. On my gentoo-box I finally solved the problem by deinstalling gamin and re-installing fam.
Here is a solution I got per Mail from another User using Debian: -------- 8< Schnipp 8< --------- Hello! I saw your thread here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg36214.html I'm not on that list but I had the *exact* problem that you did. I solved the problem and I was wondering if you could follow up on your own thread with the solution. I'm using a system as described here[1]. My symptoms were exactly as you described - overnight a single user could not login. All of the log outputs were exactly as you wrote. The user's name was chad. I looked for gam_server and found several. I killed the one owned by the user "chad" and then login worked. That's it! I remember that this happened to me several months ago and like you, I was really irritated that a reboot was necessary to fix the problem. I was *especially* irritated that I wasted an entire morning trying to fix the problem. I had to do that because "chad" is ME and I needed my email and the box is colocated and reboots are not always successful! Please post this to your thread. Tell the world!
