pam_console not running from KDM

[overshoot]

OK, I'm giving up on tracking this down w/o a hint. kdm login doesn't change device ownerships, doesn't set /var/run/console/* etc.

In other words, pam_console is out of the picture. A text-console login works fine. In fact, I can log in on a text console after logging in graphically and the permissions still get set. It's as though the X login were running remote. No logfile entries.

Oh, and for the "don't waste your time on PAM" set, I don't really have a choice since this is a group of shared systems. Problem only turned up following a recent update, and it's happening across several machines both x86 and amd64.

Hi, this is actually a very easy to solve . Just add one line to the end in /etc/pam.d/system-auth or /etc/pam.d/kde (specially for KDE/KDM)
