Description Eduardo R E 2002-10-29 05:14:04 UTC
Yeah, that's the problem.

I've got Gentoo 1.2 and I installed gdm. Always I type my user in the box
(doesn't matter the user, edulix, root... no one!) appears a small window that
says "Authentication failed".

Yeah, that's the problem.

(doesn't matter the user, edulix, root... no one!) appears a small window that
says "Authentication failed".
¿What's the matter?

NOTE: There is only a box, where I type the user. I guess that if the
authentication was not failing will appear a box where I'll type my pasword.

Let me get this straight : you can only type a user and never get to type a
password ?

First thing to try is ofcourse re-emerge gdm and lower down on optimisations.

Probably a pam problem, see bug http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9389 .
Can you confirm this is the same problem so i can make this a dup ?
