Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 224263
When killed kdm does not properly cleanup PAM state
Last modified: 2008-04-04 17:41:24 EDT
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.
