Description of problem: When the login shell is tcsh, ls | head gives strange a error: "ls: write error: Broken pipe" This was tracked down to pam calling dbus which alters SIGPIPE handling. (long story at: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/11203/focus=11902) It seems that the resolution to corresponding the bug report for dbus: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13318 was that pam should be changed. See: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13318#c7 Can you please do that? Thanks! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pam-0.99.8.1-10.fc8
pam_ck_connector.so calls dbus.
The function in question is dbus_connextion_set_change_sigpipe
