Re: gdm and ssh keys

[josh <jbuhl_nospam gmx de>]

Hi again,

I got it work by switching the order of these lines:

@include common-auth
@include pam-ssh-auth

to

@include pam-ssh-auth
@include common-auth


so that gdm first asks for an ssh password. works like a charm.

The configuration you described below is exactly what I've read just
about everywhere. I don't know why that should work for anybody, since
you still have to enter your regular system password.
