KDM change your password immediately...
Slackware ...11.X - 13.X
I configure server with only KDM access for many users (console is not allowed). Everything works great but I can`t set security policy for the password. For the test I have done: create account testuser set password for testuser To test: I login to system using testuser account and password - all work. Next step is enforced changing password from root account Code:
chage -d 0 testuser Code:
You are required to change your password immediately (root enforced) Should I install PAM... On the console all work correctly. Why, Why, Why ? |
Try using KUser, the user manager program found in the KDE System Applications, for configuring KDM.
|
Code:
kuser For configuring KDM (Login Manager KDE Control Module - KDE 4.x.x) I can use Code:
kcmshell4 kdm |
It appears that the code needed to do this is yet to be completed. From /usr/include/kgreeterplugin.h

Thank you for the reply.
I tested Slackware versions from 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, 13.0, 13.1 and all the version have similarly description in /usr/include/kgreeterplugin.h so I send question to info@slackware.com. Best regards |
This is something that needs to be changed in KDM - apparently the developer still needs to work on it. Currrently there is no possibility to allow you to change your password in KDM.
Therefore it is not going to make a difference when you send an email to info@slackware.com (you sent me that email as well) because Slackware only packages the KDE sources, we are not developers of KDE so we do not modify those sources unless a patch is required to make it compile successfully. Your best shot will be to open a bug report at https://bugs.kde.org/ and hope that it will be picked up by the developers. Eric |
I opened report at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=245510 (it`s duplication of this bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=245421) but I got some information https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=245510#c3
I received new information: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=245510#c3 and https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=245510#c5 Best regards. |
