Gosh, I wish I'd seen that a year ago :) I hope this is a reasonable place to ask the following question: So if I can't use su, what can I use? I want to start the rabbit process as the "rabbitmq" user, and Erlang programs can't easily setuid(3). I'm not aware of an alternative to su, but I could well be ignorant. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/395281 Title: pam_ck_connector.so is called for non-login sessions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gdm/+bug/395281/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
