Hello Chris! Thanks a lot. That fixed the problem. Yes,the file /etc/pam.d/kdm from KDE 3.2.2 looks like this: @include common-auth @include common-account @include common-password @include common-session auth required pam_nologin.so auth required pam_env.so session required pam_limits.so I have taken /etc/pam.d/kdm from (my old) KDE 3.1.5 installation: #%PAM-1.0 auth required pam_nologin.so auth required pam_unix.so shadow nullok auth required pam_env.so account required pam_unix.so session required pam_unix.so session required pam_limits.so # (Remove `md5' after the module name to disable MD5 passwords password required pam_unix.so nullok obscure min=4 max=8 md5 # Alternate strength checking for password. Note that this # requires the libpam-cracklib package to be installed. # You will need to comment out the password line above and # uncomment the next two in order to use this. # (Replaces the `OBSCURE_CHECKS_ENAB', `CRACKLIB_DICTPATH') # # password required pam_cracklib.so retry=3 minlen=6 difok=3 # password required pam_unix.so use_authtok nullok md5 Additionally, i have removed /etc/pam.d/kdm-np (What is it for? It was not in 3.1.5 ...). Now kdm works as expected again! Bye, Steffen
