[perhaps this is a pam-issue...] /sbin/pam_console_apply is linked against glib: -------------------- $ ldd /sbin/pam_console_apply libglib-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglib-1.2.so.0 (0x40027000) libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (0x4004c000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000) --------------------- Because /usr is NFS-mounted at my system, /usr/lib/libglib is not available in early init-stages. But /sbin/pam_console_appy is called by /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit before the netfs-scripts. So I get at boot an error-messages saying that the libglib library is missing.
Nalin: you want to statically link it against glib?
This is already fixed for a long time.
