strace -f gdm -nodaemon output, bzip2 compressed
While logged in to my user account, I modified /etc/inittab to run gdm inside
strace and log stdout/stderr to a file, ran "telinit -q", then killed the
parent gdm process.
I logged in as root with an empty password twice.
I logged in as my user account, modified /etc/inittab to restore the original
gdm command, ran "telinit -q", then killed the parent gdm process.
This seems to be fixed in the latest Fedora Core test release. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Netscape/7.1 (ax) Description of problem: If I log in to gdm incorrectly, then on the second login X is killed. Running strace -f gdm -nodaemon (from /etc/inittab) shows X dying on a SIGTERM from the parent gdm process. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. In the greeter, log in as "root" and give an empty password. 2. Repeat. Or, log in as a non-root account and give the correct password. Actual Results: X dies. Expected Results: Greeter should shake and report "incorrect password". Or, the non-root account should be logged in. Additional info:
