Am I missing a > much-needed package or something? You need to update your /etc/pam.conf. Here's a snippet from mine: gdm auth required pam_unix.so gdm account required pam_unix.so try_first_pass gdm session required pam_permit.so gdm password required pam_permit.so This problem bit me too, and I got it to work this way. However, I really wouldn't know what the correct .so's are for these four lines. The xdm example lines don't work (I think gdm needs permission for the 'session' type of service, not sure about the 'password' line). Anyone else in the know? > P.S.
