System: NetBSD cbudd 1.6.1 NetBSD 1.6.1 (GENERIC) #0: Tue Apr 8 12:05:52 UTC 2003 autobuild@tgm.daemon.org:/autobuild/netbsd-1-6/i386/OBJ/autobuild/netbsd-1-6/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC i386

>Description:
Not sure if this is a NetBSD bug or a kdm/X bug.
On a clean install of NetBSD 1.6.1 and kde 3.0.5.1,
I set kdm in rc.local. When I reboot, all is fine.
However, if I install bash 2.05.2, and use chpass
to set the default shell to /usr/pkg/bin/bash, then
subsequent logins from kdm fail. This is annoying
since any logins outside of kdm will not automatically
drop me in the bash shell. Obviously, I can just type
bash, but I'm lazy.
>How-To-Repeat:
From the i386pkg CDs for NetBSD 1.6.1 from April 2003:
1. Boot off CD 8 of 8 from the 1.6.1 i386pkg
2. Configure network settings within sysinst
3. install
3.a. use a default disklabel "standard with X"
3.b. full install -- all sets
4. reboot and login as root
5. xf86cfg to configure X, but do not start X
6. pkg_add ghostscript-esp from disk 1 of 8 of 1.6.1 i386pkg
(should be done through KDE install, but it missed this ghostscript for some reason)
7. pkg_add kde -- should install 3.0.5.1 from disk 1 of 8 of 1.6.1 i386pkg
8. pkg_add bash -- should install 2.05.2 from disk 6 of 8 of 1.6.1 i386pkg
9. add the following line to the bottom of your /etc/rc.local
--> /usr/X11R6/bin/kdm
10. chpass and change the Shell: line to /usr/pkg/bin/bash
11. reboot and attempt to login as root
>Fix:
When the login from kdm fails, login into the console
as root, and chpass to change the Shell back to /bin/csh.
