package kdm tags 236750 +pending thanks This is a packaging bug in the kdm-np PAM service, which is a new service in KDE 3.2, for passwordless logins only. Refer to http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68331 for more info. Calc has a fix for it in his sources, but it's not going to get uploaded yet, in order to not overload the buildd's.
The easy fix is to comment the line "@include common-auth" in /etc/pam.d/kdm-np ( i.e. put a '#' sign at the front of the line ), and to add a line "auth required pam_permit.so" after the two other "auth required" lines. I am attaching a known working /etc/pam.d/kdm-np file cheers domi
