[gdm-list] Problem with audit code

[Brian Cameron <Brian Cameron Sun COM>]

Ray:

Sorry for the resend, but I send the previous email with the wrong
subject line.

I'm seeing a problem in the GDM audit code for Solaris.  I had to make
the attached patch in order to prevent GDM from exiting on assert and
never starting the login screen.  Note I added a simple call to
return to avoid it failing on the g_return_if_fail line just below.

I thought we were pretty sure that username should never be NULL by
the time the report_login function is called.

I notice that the Linux code does not have a similar check to
ensure that the username is not NULL.  I wonder if you add such
a test if you would also start seeing failure?

Thoughts?

Brian
