Description Ray Strode [halfline] 2007-08-24 15:16:34 UTC
One problem that we're hitting with pam_gnomekeyring is that it runs in the
locked down xdm context since we don't do a domain transition until after pam
session modules are run.  This causes problems because it means
gnome-keyring-daemon runs under the wrong context.

Some session modules (like pam_console) need to run under the xdm domain and not
the user domain though.

If we switch to using pam_selinux then we can partition the session modules to
half run in the xdm context and half in the user context.

Comment 1 Ray Strode [halfline] 2007-08-24 15:34:31 UTC
should be fixed (or really broken) in tomorrow's rawhide

Comment 2 Ray Strode [halfline] 2007-09-07 16:08:46 UTC
it broke things for xguest users.  we need to save, reset and restore the
context around the call to the PreSession script

Comment 3 Ray Strode [halfline] 2007-10-01 21:23:26 UTC
we fixed this a while ago I believe.
