As an additional possible clue, when we install our special kiosk type on top, we also get an additional error dialog before we see the one above (may or may not be related): "User's $HOME.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default session and language from being saved. File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions. User's $HOME directory must be owned by user and not writable by others. [OK]'


This one may be very relevant. And it seems to point to RHEL changes, as nothing in kiosk has changed here recently.

In any case there should be a $HOME/.dmrc file for the kiosk user. It should be owned by the kiosk user, but permissions should be 600. If GDM ignores it because permissions are too tight (but still sufficient for a login service running as root to see it), that seems very wrong to me.

Can you check that file? You may have to look via a shell while that dialog is up, as the kiosk user's home directory will be torn down when the session ends.

I am very hesitant to back out the patches, or revert to pre-updated RHEL 5.3 since our customers will of course mostly just load up the very latest of everything. Are others also seeing this, or similar? Known issue? Is there a config step we missed, or some work-around? Ideas on where to look next would be appreciated.

If the .dmrc error is indeed the one causing your problem, you can try to change the line that says 'chmod 600 $_theDMRCFile' in the /opt/SUNWkio/lib/initsession script to say '644' in place of '600' to work around the problem.

Please tell us if it worked.
