I have been unable to login using gdm even though it is in my /etc/rc.conf: |
| 2 |
UNICODE="no" |
| 3 |
EDITOR="/bin/nano" |
| 4 |
DISPLAYMANAGER="gdm" |
| 5 |
XSESSION="Gnome" |

Today I checked my system logs and I found these entries: |

I have reemerged both pam and pam-login, neither of which has |
| 52 |
regenerated the needed pam_console.so. Googleing gives me lots of |
| 53 |
information about what the file does, but not how to get another one. |
| 54 |
Can anybody give me any hints? |
