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? -- 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.
