Has anybody worked wtih Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) in S.u.S.E. ? I added it because it was needed by the KDE rpm I fetched from <A HREF="http://www.foyer.se"><A HREF="http://www.foyer.se</A">http://www.foyer.se</A</A>>. It looks like I need to do some more work to get it to run. I believe I have seen this same problem in reverse with KDE on Solaris, I assume this is because I _didn't_ have PAM installed there. I get a login prompt from KDE, but logins always fail. I have found some html pages for PAM that came with the rpm and will be reading them. I am just wondering if anybody knows the fast and dirty solution to gettin a PAM enabled KDM to work.

Here I go again talking to my self. I simply set up the /etc/pam.con according to the html docs that come with PAM. Now I get the authentication to take, but I can't get the kde to start. It just restarts the xserver and sends me back to the login screen. Any clues, TIA, Steve Steven T. Hatton wrote:

Does the login work when you choose `failsafe' as session type? Ciao, Stefan - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
Stefan, Thanks for taking the time to ask. I now have the system working. I found the html docs for PAM and copied the /etc/pam.conf from there. That made the PAM part work, but then I couldn't get the KDE to start. I put a bunch of echo $<variable> >> out.file's in the Xsessions and sys.xsession files and tracked it down to an exec $WINDOWMANAGER, where WINDOWMANAGER=kde. I found no executable called kde on this system, so I checked another, working, system and found /opt/kde/startkde -> /usr/X11R6/bin/kde. Did an ln and all is fine with the login. Now I need to find out why I cannot compile "small kde apps". Says I don't have the correct headers. It even has the nerve to suggest that this is _my_ fault! I wonder if it is. Well that's another thread. -regards, Steve Stefan Troeger wrote:
