SubjectRe: Problems after building a 2.2.14 Kernel
Acee Lindem:
> Feb 5 14:22:51 localhost rc: Starting local succeeded
> Feb 5 14:22:52 localhost gdm[466]: gdm_auth_secure_display: Could not unlink /var/gdm/:0.xauth file: No such file or directory
> Feb 5 14:23:19 localhost PAM_pwdb[473]: 1 authentication failure; (uid=0) -> root for gdm service
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
> Feb 5 14:23:19 localhost prefdm[473]: Couldn't authenticate root
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Look into your passwd and shadow files and look for users with uid=0.
I suspect that user gdm has uid=0. That is reserved for root.
