Bug ID: 395947
Summary: Using pam_kwallet5.so breaks pam_mkhomedir.so
Product: kwallet-pam
Version: 5.12.4
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal

/etc/pam.d/sddm on k/ubuntu 18.04
Hi folks,
I'm running k/ubuntu 18.04, and using pam to do ldap authenticated logins. As
part of this process, for each user I need to create my default environment
from /etc/skel/
What Happened:
When I login, the home dir is created without the contents of /etc/skel
What I expect to Happen:
When I login, the home dir is created *with* the contents of /etc/skel
How to recreate the problem:
1. Enable the pam_mkhomedir.so according to your platform requirements
- on ubuntu, I use a config in /usr/share/pam-configs/ and run sudo
pam-auth-update to apply it to the various /etc/pam.d/common-* files
2. Login to an account that doesn't have any home dir created yet
3. Verify that files from /etc/skel/ have not been copied (.bashrc is a really
obvious one)
Extra Investigation Notes:
* This came about because sddm pulls in an /etc/pam.d/sddm config (attached),
which has a couple of pam_kwallet*.so entries.
* This bug report against sddm suggested a workaround which involved removing
all the pam_kwallet*.so entries and adding the pam_mkhomedir entry manually (I
verified this works):
https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/769
* in order to verify separation from sddm, I load the pam_kwallet5.so in
common-[auth,session] instead of the sddm config. I use a different display
manager (gdm3) and pam_mkhomedir.so fails to run. If I disable the kwallet
entries and login using gdm3, pam_mkhomedir.so runs (in gdm3 it gives you a
status message).
