openSUSE 11.1 XDM/KDM and pam_ssh bug?

English Hardware
#1

Hallo,
I cannot fill a bug report on that, so, I will post it here.
Environment:
openSUSE 11.1 Evergreen, 64bit
KDE 3.5.10
pam_ssh.
Users log on the system either with their passphrase (if they have one) or their Linux password.

Issue: When a user log-on with their Linux password, when he exits KDE, XDM crashes.
Users using passphrase for log-on have no problem.

pam_ssh configuration:
/etc/pam.d/login:

/etc/pam.d/login
#%PAM-1.0
auth     requisite      pam_nologin.so
auth     [user_unknown=ignore success=ok ignore=ignore auth_err=die default=bad]        pam_securetty.so
auth     include        common-auth
account  include        common-account
password include        common-password
session  required       pam_loginuid.so
session  include        common-session
session  required       pam_lastlog.so  nowtmp
session  optional       pam_mail.so standard

/etc/pam.d/xdm:

#%PAM-1.0
auth     sufficient     pam_ssh.so
auth     include        common-auth
account  include        common-account
password include        common-password
session  required       pam_loginuid.so
session  include        common-session
session  sufficient     pam_ssh.so

Error reported in /var/log messages:


May 27 08:37:20 peter kdm[2318]: Unknown session exit code 0 (sig 11) from manager process

You can not report Bugs here, they will be ignored. There are no devs here,
only users.

Yes, I know. Since the bugzilla is closed, I cannot post a bug. BUT, since the issue seems to be known (Fedora and Ubuntu forums had a lot of entries for KDM and PAM (not for pam_ssh though) with the same behavior. So, I was hoping that some one could see it and post a possible solution.

Sure you can. If the problem is still happening you can open a bug about it.

Although I don’t know if evergreen is a proper target. You would have to
test and report it against 11.4 or factory.

Sorry for the late answer.
I don’t have 11.4 and actually I don’t plan to do so for some more time. I still miss dear a lot of functionality and applications from KDE 3.5…

There is KDE3 for 11.4 in a repo. I still use some KDE3 apps.

I want the whole 3.5… For example :slight_smile: It is a real pain to install 3.5 with 11.4. I tried it in a VM and I had huge issues. Anyway.

After the latest upgrade from Evergreen (sorry, it was automatic, I don’t know what packages changed), everything is fine now.

Automatic is a bad idea. But there are logs.

Good idea. Where are the logs?

Where all the logs are: /var/log/*.

Look there for names like “zypper”, or “yast”, or directories of same. The
log of packagekit, if used, I have no idea, as I don’t use it.
