Kde and Pam related problems[solved]

And here they are, from /var/log/errors:

Jun 28 14:47:58 DreaM kdm: :0[2780]: PAM unable to dlopen(/lib/security/pam_console.so)
Jun 28 14:47:58 DreaM kdm: :0[2780]: PAM [dlerror: /lib/security/pam_console.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]
Jun 28 14:47:58 DreaM kdm: :0[2780]: PAM adding faulty module: /lib/security/pam_console.so
Jun 28 14:47:58 DreaM kde-np(pam_unix)[2780]: unrecognized option [service=system-auth]
Jun 28 14:47:58 DreaM kde-np(pam_unix)[2780]: unrecognized option [service=system-auth]

Any way to disable Pam in Kde?

Just edit /etc/pam.d/kde-np and remove offending entries. I've already brought it to attention of tpowa, but with no visible result ;-)

Re: Kde and Pam related problems[solved]

Thanks a ton for this tip. Finally my logs will not be polluted with junk. I agree with you that the troublesome entries should be commented by default. Just like this:

 #%PAM-1.0
auth            required        pam_nologin.so
auth            required        pam_permit.so
account        required        pam_unix.so     #service=system-auth
password       required        pam_unix.so     #service=system-auth
session        required        pam_unix.so     #service=system-auth
session        optional        pam_console.so
session         required        pam_limits.so

I'd say you ought to remove only the system-auth option, not the whole line ;-)
