Bug Description
[impact]
lightdm's pam.d config includes an attempt to dlopen pam_kwallet.so as well as pam_kwallet5.so, however pam_wallet.so comes from pam-kwallet which died around Trusty (https:/
This results in repeated spam error messages in the system log complaining about failure to load pam_kwallet.so
[test case]
install/enable lightdm and check system log at boot for messages like:
Nov 04 18:17:47 thrain lightdm[2510]: PAM unable to dlopen(
Nov 04 18:17:47 thrain lightdm[2510]: PAM adding faulty module: pam_kwallet.so
[regression potential]
any regression would likely cause problems during login and/or missing or extra log messages during pam authentication.
[scope]
this is needed in all releases
