    Hello.
    I've got a problem.
    I'm using KDE 3.4.3 on a 5.4p8 system: simply it does not check for
    password!!!
    At login (using kdm) I just enter my username and can leave the password
    field blank or type whatever I want. The same happens after the screen
    saver has locked up my session.
    Here's my /etc/pam.d/kde:

    #
    # $FreeBSD: src/etc/pam.d/kde,v 1.6 2003/04/30 21:57:54 markm Exp $
    #
    # PAM configuration for the "kde" service
    #

    # auth
    auth required pam_nologin.so no_warn
    #auth sufficient pam_krb5.so no_warn
    try_first_pass
    #auth sufficient pam_ssh.so no_warn
    try_first_pass
    #auth required pam_unix.so no_warn
    try_first_pass
    auth sufficient /usr/local/lib/pam_smb_auth.so

    # account
    #account required pam_krb5.so
    account required pam_unix.so

    # session
    #session optional pam_ssh.so
    session required pam_permit.so

    I've tryed googling, but I only came up either with vulnerability
    reports for older KDE releases (which should have been corrected) or
    with hints which are specific to some particular Linux-based OS.
    Any hiny appreciated.

    BTW, I'm also using nss_ldap, in case it matters, and text console login
    works fine.

      bye & Thanks
            av.
