seems the PAM conversation is getting nowhere, with errors being returned. I've seen people getting this 'Permissions on the password database may be too restrictive.' message because of the 'Paranoid' mode being selected in Yast (Security and Users -> Local Security'). Is that the case? I checked, and 10.2 comes with the 'Easy' mode by default, so I guess it won't be the case. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
