Description of problem: - boot into runlevel 5 - run 'telinit 3' - avoid bug 210549, hopefully - note that gdm-binary is still running It's the smartcard process, stating /var/run. It appears to ignore SIGTERM; it has to be killed with SIGKILL. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdm-2.16.0-10.fc6
So this got fixed a while ago apparently: * Sat Oct 14 2006 Ray Strode <rstrode> - 1:2.16.0-14.fc7 - have security token monitor helper process kill itself when the communication pipe to the main process goes away (bug 210677).
