Hey there.

After returning from being in Egypt for the past two weeks, I've done my
standard apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade, and now I find that KDM
won't let me log in. It will accept my username and passwd, but I am
brought immediately back to the login screen. This has happened before,
where it was a problem with, if I remember correctly, libssl096; this
time, though, I don't believe that that has changed versions at all.
I've looked at /var/log/kdm.log, but all I can see is the standard
messages from X starting up. Logins on the console work fine, though.

Any ideas?

Carson

Just FYI, a little digging turned up the answer. Stupid me should have
checked bugs.debian.org first. The problem is with ssh-agent. Either
disable it in /etc/X11/Xsession.options or edit
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/90xfree86-common_ssh-agent and remove the quotes
around $SSHAGENT $SSHAGENTARGS and $REALSTARTUP so that the whole thing
reads

REALSTARTUP=$SSHAGENT $SSHAGENTARGS $REALSTARTUP

Sorry to have bothered y'all. :)

Heck that's already. It's always good to see a question and a solution
regardless.
