Hi,

on a current system built using todays sources, startx fails with

	Fatal server error:
	pam_start() failed.
		Missing or mangled PAM config file or module?

Syslog logs the following:

	X: in openpam_configure(): No required or binding component in \
	service xserver, facility auth

Substituting 'binding' for 'sufficient' in /etc/pam.d/xserver (auth
class) seems to fix the problem (but I'm not sure whether binding or
required should be used, or if this matters at all).

What recent PAM change causes this break? Why is a required or binding
component needed now?


TIA, Jukka
