Description John Dalbec 2003-08-06 11:47:57 EDT 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4)
Gecko/20030624 Netscape/7.1 (ax)

Description of problem:
If I log in to gdm incorrectly, then on the second login X is killed.  Running
strace -f gdm -nodaemon (from /etc/inittab) shows X dying on a SIGTERM from the
parent gdm process.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In the greeter, log in as "root" and give an empty password.
2. Repeat. Or, log in as a non-root account and give the correct password.

    

Actual Results:  X dies.

Expected Results:  Greeter should shake and report "incorrect password".  Or,
the non-root account should be logged in.

strace -f gdm -nodaemon output, bzip2 compressed

While logged in to my user account, I modified /etc/inittab to run gdm inside
strace and log stdout/stderr to a file, ran "telinit -q", then killed the
parent gdm process.
I logged in as root with an empty password twice.
I logged in as my user account, modified /etc/inittab to restore the original
gdm command, ran "telinit -q", then killed the parent gdm process.

This seems to be fixed in the latest Fedora Core test release.
