Yes I rebooted twice (was also doing some cleaning on my 2.4 kernel
setup and the lilo configuration). When I installed KDE 2.1 CVS I was
running 2.2.17 now I am running 2.4.0 with ReiserFS patch (soon to move
to 2.4.1 when released). As to the checkpass problem, I don't have the
source for the 01152001 CVS so I just used the source from Beta 1 and
recompiled just checkpass with PAM and Shadow support. When I ran strace
on the original it was getting an error message about opening the PAM
database, then went through the process of trying to open up Shadow and
failed to get the password correct. When run direct from the command line
without strace it worked fine, which is odd.
Also as an FYI, I installed KDE 2.1 CVS from a command prompt at init
level 3. Then rebooted into init level 5 (I like to take chances). I was
able to login fine although the KDM was totally different from the Beta 1
version of KDM, and all my other window managers were missing from the
startup. It also forgot to restrict the list of shown users to just the
ones I had specified. It is a well running build but missing some of the
polish of the previous builds I have pulled from this location. It could
have just been a simple oversight or as you mentioned a bug in the
Makefile.
