Just joined, first post: is it a bug?
I downloaded and installed 9.2RC1 on 28 August. During startup, the trace reports that getgrname failed to find group video, and then pam_console_apply reports a segmentation fault. I reproduced this by simply calling 'pam_console_apply -r' as root (this is how it appears in rc.sysinit, line 863 or there about). Sure enough, video is not in /etc/group, and the Segmentation fault can be avoided by adding it. I'm pretty sure this is not the right way to handle the problem. Segmentation faults during startup seem pretty radical to me. One of the side effects of the pam_console_apply failure is that during logout from KDE, X dies and the system reverts to a text console which refuses to acknowledge root login. I've see this reported on other mailing lists. I can't find this in the cooker mailing list archives or in Bugzilla, but I have only been looking for references to pam and segmentation faults. tony
