Description dann 2008-01-28 01:11:28 UTC

Description of problem:

When the login shell is tcsh, 
ls | head 
gives strange a error: "ls: write error: Broken pipe"


This was tracked down to pam calling dbus which alters SIGPIPE handling.
(long story at:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/11203/focus=11902)

It seems that the resolution to corresponding the bug report for dbus:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13318

was that pam should be changed. See:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13318#c7

Can you please do that?

Thanks!

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pam-0.99.8.1-10.fc8

Comment 1 Tomas Mraz 2008-01-28 08:02:16 UTC

pam_ck_connector.so calls dbus.

Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2008-02-05 15:47:49 UTC

The function in question is dbus_connextion_set_change_sigpipe
