Hi, When I did the test, I used FreeBSD 8.2 amd64 using the ports collection delivered with this distribution.
Yesterday I did a checkout of the latest ports tree. I compiled bash, xorg, xfce and gdm using the default options. When trying to login using gdm, it still complains about a missing keyring pam module. When I disable keyring support in gdm, gdm runs flawlessly. Therefore I thought that options used to compile the offical packages might be different. If default options are used to compile them, it should be a some other problem. To ensure that my build environment is not polluted, I did this test on a fresh installation. But anyway it doesn't matter as I have a workaround. Thanks for your valuable information, Bye, David Arendt On Sat, 2011-07-16 at 18:12 -0400, b. f. wrote: > > well I don't actually now which package it was, but I compiled gdm (so > > it should be one of it's dependencies).
