upstream bug, http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344191

should be fixed in 2.14.9

Comment 2 Thierry Thévoz 2006-06-16 18:49:06 UTC

My security log show the following during auto-login :

< 2.14.4: pam_unix(gdm-autologin:session)
> 2.14.8: pam_unix(gdm:session)

Looking at /etc/pam.d/gdm and /etc/pam.d/gdm-autologin, it explains why gdm now
asks for password.

This should have been picked up in regression testing... I have non-techie
members of my family using Fedora Core desktops, which I updated to FC5
remotely, and this was a bit of a shock to them.

Fedora has no official formal regression testing or QA testing,
but if it did, you might be correct.

When will 2.14.9 come out?

Comment 6 Ray Strode [halfline] 2006-06-21 14:30:24 UTC

I've requested it be moved from updates-testing to updates this morning, so it
should show up sometime today or tomorrow.

Hi,

We no longer support Fedora Core 5 and I am currently trying to get my open bug
count down to a more manageable state.  I'm going to close this bug as WONTFIX.
 If this issue is still a concern for you, would you mind trying to reproduce on
a supported version of Fedora and reopening?
