https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438159 Summary: Cannot log in user with * inside the password Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Beta 3 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: michael.monreal@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- On my beta3 installation I was not able to log in a user which had the character "*" in the password. Deleting and re-creating the user with a simple pass worked and I finally narrowed it down to "*". NOTE: I was able to log into a tty with the "*" pass, but not into GDM, which always said "authentication failed". -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438159 User hpj@novell.com added comment https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438159#c2 --- Comment #2 from Hans Petter Jansson 2008-11-12 13:47:03 MST --- Looks like GDM changes the keyboard layout right after you click on a user in the user browser, so you get a different layout from what you're used to in the password entry. I see the same thing, but when I substitute the key that normally produces '/' for all '-' characters in the password, it logs me in. However, if you choose "Other..." for user, and enter the user name manually, the keyboard layout is not changed, and you can enter the password as you would expect. Can you verify that this is the case for you as well? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
