Hm, I didn't realize we didn't support empty passwords. Well that's a good
reason for them to be broken! I guess if we don't allow login without
password, then the presence of a login without password option is itself a
problem, and there's no way "choose password at next login" can ever work.
I don't think GNOME is going to change anything since, as you said, there's no
way it can be made to work without accepting empty passwords, which is a
feature of the GNOME desktop. So we need to support it or manually remove it.
I guess our two choices are:
* Have GDM simply ignore the global PAM settings
* Remove "login without password" and "choose password on next login"
The first seems wrong, the second requires patching gnome-control-center
forever. Am I missing any options; Vincent, which is best?
Thorsten, can you explain clearly what if anything is wrong with
pam_gnome_keyring? My understanding of the problem is that pam_unix2 fails in
auth because it does not have nullok; this seems unrelated to gnome_keyring?
