[Frugalware-devel] PAM file problems

[Marius Cirsta]

Hi

I've managed to find the problem , it's this line in login-manager

auth        required    pam_unix.so

Autologin from KDM just won't work with this set. I've also checked
other distros to see and pam_unix.so is not present for kde-np.

I've also attached my proposal for the kde-np file which I've tested
and works perfectly for me. It removes the auth include of
login-manager and just specifies the old kde-np auth files.

If you want I can open a bug. Also if you have a different suggestion
to fix the problem that would work that would be fine too. This is the
best I could come up with and it seems to do the trick.
