>Description:
/bin/login doesn't work - complaining about pam_start.
This started happening as soon as I updated from 3.99.10 to the most recent current as of two or three days ago.

If it weren't for KDM, I would not be able to get into my system. KDM's authentication still works.
>How-To-Repeat:
# /usr/bin/login
login: root
login: pam_start failed
# /usr/bin/login
login: dive
login: pam_start failed
>Fix:
Unknown.
