I'm also noticing this bug in Fedora Core 3, only it appears intermittently, not every second login. GDM version '2.6.0.0-3'. Further commment; My previous comment was in error. The failed logins seem to happen after every 1-2 successfull logins. Fedora Core 1 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114 Description of problem: On a set of systems configured to authenticate via pam_ldap, with NFS mounted (not automounted) homedirectories, GDM presents the initial login screen, which allows the user to log in the first time with no fuss. After logging out of that session, and attempting to log back in to the same or different user, GDM/X crashes, and then GDM's greeter shows up again. This makes the user think their login was rejected, but the following shows up in /var/log/messages: messages.2:Jan 2 08:21:45 bosporos gdm[1502]: gdm_cleanup_children: child 1754 crashed of signal 11 messages.2:Jan 2 08:21:45 bosporos gdm[1502]: gdm_cleanup_children: Slave crashed, killing its children Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdm-2.4.4.5-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in via GDM 2. Log out of session 3. Attempt to log in via GDM again 4. Observe GDM/X crash 5. Log in via GDM again 6. Successful login Actual Results: GDM (or X) crashed during the second login attempt (after a successful logout). Expected Results: Login should be successful for all valid logins. Additional info: After a logout, if you do a manual CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE, forcing gdm to reload the greeter, the login will be successful the first time. This would lead me to believe it's a problem with gdmgreeter not cleaning up properly after itself.
