Hello, I must be missing something because I can't get xdm to work happily with pam_winbind. The 6.1 system is joined to a Windows domain and aware of domain users. I log on to the machine using my domain account via SSH and all is well. I've enabled xdm and restarted init. Connections from any host are permitted. I have also modified the pam.d/xdm file to use the winbind pam module for authentication. I get a login screen and my username and password are correctly checked against Active Directory. I have setup a ~/.xsession file which should log me in and start a Gnome environment. What actually happens is that the connection seems to drop and reconnect and I end up back at an xdm prompt. In the system messages log I have the following: xdm: pam_sm_close_session(): no utmp record for DESKTOP:0 * DESKTOP is the hostname of my desktop system from which I am connecting. I tried commenting out the session line in pam.d/xdm which this message comes from, it removes the error but doesn't change the behaviour so I assume it is not directly related. I couldn't find anything in the Handbook to help me on my way. If anyone could tell me the missing link I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks, Dominic Marks
