prompting me for pam_mount password

Hi,

I have an issue coming up with my opensuse 11.2.

Its taking too much time to prompting me to enter password after boot-up and it is asking me to enter PAM_MOUNT password.

I entered the password which i use to login to my computer and it is not letting me to log-in.

I tried using safe mode and am not able to login through command line.

For example, I can use ssh-id-copy to get the key and login to the remote server without entering the password. Is there a similar mechanism to run as root without prompting password?

I don't know. If login with a key is sort of safe, then I argue there should be a mechanism like that for sudo. NOPASSWD is not a good solution, however.

Thanks.

I had tried to setup kerberos authentication to log into some ADS thing at my new university, however that didn't work and resulted in me having to enter my password twice for everything.

So I did: sudo apt-get remove libpam-krb5

Then some authentication tool came up asking if I wanted to ignore local changes(?) to which I entered yes.

So I can't login.

Websites tell me to use sudo when I have no password, usually tell me one of two things.

It is bad security Or use 'sudo visudo' and the %admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL line

I would like to not have a password on anything despite the security risks.

Going with option 2, I'm trying to avoid getting prompted to enter a password at all on my account.

So the problem with option 2, is that sudo is

Do you use pam_mount?

Every time I log in into Ubuntu a window comes titled "Unlock Login Keyring" and asks for some password. The problem is when I enter my password it doesn't accepts it.

What is login keyring? If it isn't asking about my user account password then which password is it asking about? I don't want to come it everytime I login. How do I make it go away?

I have keys configured such that I can login to SVN_HOST like this:

ssh <USER_NAME>@<SVN_HOST>

Will log me to SVN_HOST with no password prompt.

Using ubuntu 12.04 kernel 3.2.0-31-generic x64 and Gnome 1:3.0~6ubuntu3

On initial boot login screen displays ok - using mouse to choose user it then asks for password - enter password login ok

On initial boot login screen displays ok - just press enter - does not ask for password and logs in OK

I think this may be a security issue - Can anyone please clarify?
