Description Davide Bolcioni 2007-01-24 21:48:43 UTC

Description of problem: When killing kdm to work around bug #224260, resources 
managed by pam_console such as /dev/dsp still belong to the previously logged 
in console user.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kdebase 3.5.4-12.fc6

How reproducible:
Sporadically, see bug #224260.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log off
2. Experience X server crash per bug #224260
3. Login via ssh and kill kdm
4. kdm restarts
5. Log in
  
Actual results: A message complains about the ownership on /dev/dsp, which
is still owned by the user who logged off in step #1 and not by the user who 
logged in at the console in step #5.

Expected results: Correct ownership on /dev/dsp.


Additional info: In /var/log/messages I am seeing

Jan 23 10:51:07 camelot kdm[2924]: X server for display :0 terminated 
unexpectedly
Jan 23 10:51:07 camelot kdm: :0[2941]: pam_setcred(DELETE_CRED) for eisenturm 
failed: System error

and I guess PID 2924 got killed and PID 2941 was respawned and encountered 
problems with PAM.
