My theory on this is that kde.org's "package" was compiled on -CURRENT pre-PAM change. I could be wrong, and it may have been the lack of a "kde" entry in /etc/login.conf all along, but I compiled and reinstalled it from the -port first, then changed login.conf. This has been tested and does work. Since I can't get kdebase built, because meinproc keeps having signal 11's, I am having to use the precompiled "package" over at kde.org. Anyone having this problem with meinproc? Speaking of which, I don't know what I did, but when I log in as ME, I get all my settings, all my desktop items, and even my .cshrc in my shell is source for my environment variables, $HOME is set to the proper dir, BUT I AM ROOT!!! I don't know why meinproc fails to run properly, otherwise, I'd be building it from the -port.
