I'm currently trying to port gdm, a very nice xdm replacement, and have hit a snag with PAM and authentication. Perusing the man page for PAM was not much help. :-( I copied the entries for xdm in /etc/pam.conf, changing xdm to gdm, but still no go. Here's what I'm seeing in the gdm debug output: gdm[34613]: Couldn't authenticate :1: error: unexpected character `\222', expected keyword - e. This repeats three times, then: gdm[34613]: Couldn't open session for conrads Again repeating three times. It seems that gdm wants to use /usr/local/etc/pam.d for authentication, as it creates this dir on installation (I've deleted this dir, by the way), but I'd rather it just worked with the standard /etc/pam.conf. Any clues? -- Conrad Sabatier http://members.home.net/conrads/ ICQ# 1147270 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
