If /etc/pam.d/common-auth is a file and not a link to common-auth-pc, than this behaviour is correct. pam-config do not want to change a user configuration.

We had in the past some modules which changes pam configuration using sed, etc. pam_fingerprint was one of this module, if I remember correctly.

Was this machine updated? Was in the past pam_fingerprint used?

If so, this would explain it, and we cannot do more than say sorry.

This can be fixed, by creating again links for all of the common-* files to its -pc versions.

In my case was exactly as the comment 4, I didn't change anything under /etc/pam.d I think the problem is in the kde4-livecd final release.

The command called by YaST is 'pam-config -a --fp'.

Miguel, a) does it happen with normal installation (not from Live CD) as well? It looks like, because a friend of mind install with the DVD and works OK. But I didn't try my self

...

b) what if you omit YaST configuration and call 'pam-config -a --fp' directly?

Also in an normally installed 11.2 enabling and disabling works fine, if the links are correct set. Maybe the kde4-livecd is created wrong and do not contain the links. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
