Thanks for the reply, I tried your suggestion. It still happens after changing that file in /etc/pam.d and then rebooting, no change whatsoever in behaviour that I can tell. I did notice that the password prompt is only displayed when previously logged in (Gnome session). No password prompt: 1) (re)boot starts gdm3 2) restart from login screen Password prompt is shown: 1) (re)boot starts gdm3 2) log into Gnome 3) logout 4) restart from login screen Perhaps the session doesn't close completely? I remember from (pre-)3.4 that a logged in user shutting down the machine also got the password prompt when another session (such as a root terminal session) was still open. If so, maybe this bug needs to re-assigned to a more appropriate package, but I don't know which. Best regards, Steven
