Details

The current /etc/pam.d/kde-np could use some refinement. It seems pam_console module isn't available anymore and system-auth options seems to be deprecated (see errors in auth.log). Moreover, there's a strange issue with limits and logging to kde. When I first log to kde (autolog, through kdm), limits for the users are set (ulimit -a corresponds properly with /etc/security/limits.conf), whereas after relogging, limits aren't set anymore. I don't know where the problem lies, but it could be troublesome, especially if RT limits are concerned.

Additionally, as this bug seems to be at least partially of tpowa's concern, kde's ABS tree could use some cleaning before the forthcoming (I hope) 3.4.2 release, as obsolete files seem to lie around.

Cheers,
This task depends upon

My bad. Somehow I've missed kde in testing. The kde ABS structure seems to be cleaned out in 3.4.2-2, however using it and pam from testing doesn't solve the limits issue.

does new kde-common-3 solve your problems?
Comment by Łukasz Fibinger (lucke) - Sunday, 31 July 2005, 23:02 GMT
Unfortunately, it doesn't. Limits are still unset, moreover autologging stopped working (authentication fails).

I believe those 'include' statements in new kde-np refer to /etc/pam.d/system-auth (as indicated by auth.log), which doesn't exist.

hi
just one try:
what happens if you just copy login from pam.d to kde-np?
mv kde-np kde-np.old
cp login kde-np
thanks for your feedback

Using login as kde-np has the same affect (no limits, no autologging). The only subtle difference I notice is that with kde-np from kde-common-3 the number of user processes is limited to ca. 4000 (I have those set to 512 in limits.conf), while with login file as kde-np it's set to 8179.
