Another thing you could check. Struck me while going to the office -> Pls check the permissions on the authdaemon socket. Maybe the permissions are not sufficient.
Generally the location fo the socket(unless explicitly changed) should be -> /var/spool/authdaemond/socket or /var/spool/authdaemon/socket (I do not exactly remember whether the folder name is authdaemond or authdaemon) Do ensure that others apart from the owners can also rwx on the socket Best Wishes On Tue, 2009-03-24 at 07:34 +0530, Varad Gupta wrote: > Hi Goutam > > I have never used the RPMS as such but compiled from source.
