I have a Toshiba Qosmio with 2 60 GB hard drives, one with Windows XP and the

I just decided to add my wife as a user to the linux side. For some reason the
login screen won't work.
I set up her account in passwd and group and I set up her home directory.
I can log her in as an su user with no problem. When I re-boot the system and
the splash screen comes up (KDE4),
I can enter her name and password but the system rejects the pass word.
I've checked everything about 3 times and can find nothing wrong.
I would guess that I have missed some niggally detail. The Windows XP side
works fine. Any ideas?
Gary, I found this thread by someone who has as similar problem as
yourself. Perhaps it may help.

Thanks for the reply. I read the reference but no joy. My login problem
is happening at the kdm level before the OS is even started (I think).
How does one activate /deactivate the initial login screen. I know this
is possible. I think I set this up when I initially installed Debian
from the iso network installation disk. I probably prompted me through
the process at the time. I have since completely forgotten what I did at
the time. I think I need to re configure kdm somehow.
