Gosh, I wish I'd seen that a year ago :) I hope this is a reasonable place to ask the following question: So if I can't use su, what can I use? I want to start the rabbit process as the "rabbitmq" user, and Erlang programs can't easily setuid(3). I'm not aware of an alternative to su, but I could well be ignorant. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/395281 Title: pam_ck_connector.so is called for non-login sessions Status in GDM: The Gnome Display Manager: Fix Released Status in “consolekit” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: gdm I have kerneloops installed and with new gdm from karmic the kernoops user is listed as real user in the gdm greeter. from /etc/passwd kernoops:x:112:65534:Kernel Oops Tracking Daemon,,,:/:/bin/false kerneloops version is 0.12-0ubuntu5 ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Fri Jul 3 20:48:24 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 Package: gdm 2.26.1-0ubuntu1 ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, user) LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-1.14-generic SourcePackage: gdm Uname: Linux 2.6.31-1-generic i686 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gdm/+bug/395281/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
