Hi all,

after updating my Debian Woody to KDE 3.2.2 today, I am now able to login with kdm to any user (even root) without the right password!

Option in /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc is set correctly:

#NoPassEnable=true

The same after updating my laptop's woody.

Logins with gdm, xdm or on the console are okay!

Any ideas or the same phenomenon anyone?

Thx, Peter

Yes, indeed!

But isn't kdm supposed to run under root? On other machines (with KDE 3.2.0, KDE 3.1.5) it is also running under root and it everything is fine.

Besides, kdm was only updated, so the configuration should be the same as before...

thx, Peter

Here is the solutions: /etc/pam.d/kdm was not complete:

-----------------------------------------------------------------

#/etc/pam.d/kdm - specify the PAM behaviour of kdm

# The standard Unix authentication modules, used with
# NIS (man nsswitch) as well as normal /etc/passwd and
# /etc/shadow entries.
@include common-auth
@include common-account
@include common-password
@include common-session

auth required pam_nologin.so
auth required pam_env.so
session required pam_limits.so

# taken from kde 3.2.0

auth required pam_unix.so shadow nullok
account required pam_unix.so
session required pam_unix.so
