Remove the auth pam_unix.so entry. The gdm-autologin PAM definition should be: auth required pam_nologin.so auth required pam_permit.so account required pam_unix.so session required pam_permit.so As discussed in the freebsd-gnome archives. >=20 > Also, if I select "Reboot" or "Shut down" from the logout menu as root,=20 > the machine just hangs. Any suggestions? Don't do that. If you want to try and track down what's happening, configure you machine for a serial console, and make sure you're set to drop into the debugger should the system panic. Then, when it hangs, you should hopefully get something on the serial console. Consult the handbook for more info.
