Unfortunately the init script name changed as well as the package name, and it is called /etc/init.d/gdm3 now. With gdm3 you shouldn’t have to do anything, anyway. The daemon itself doesn’t link to libpam, only the slave and session worker do, and they are restarted every time a login is requested. You can call reload without harm, but it won’t achieve anything related. I’m somehow puzzled I didn’t notice that earlier, and I’m really sorry to see this bug in squeeze now. Setting severity critical since it “breaks unrelated packages”. Not sure the severity is appropriate but it probably should be fixed in squeeze. Cheers, -- .''`.
