Description Christian Kalkhoff 2012-05-14 07:51:14 UTC

Description of problem:
Tomorrow I wasn't able to log in to my system through gdm (although console login worked). As it turned out reason was the message from Active Directory (using winbind for authentication) that my password will expire in 13 days, which got shown in the greeter window.

After I changed my password on the console and tried to log in to gdm again, everything worked. 

I guess GDM does not start a session whenever PAM returns any message.

/var/log/secure shows only successful logins.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.30.4-33.el6_2.x86_64


How reproducible:
100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Hook up the computer with active directory (winbind for auth)
2. Set the account to have any expiring password
3. Try to login
  
Actual results:
I get a message informing me about the expiring password, after a few seconds it returns to the plain greeter window.


Expected results:
I expect to being dropped into a X session.
