Package: kdm
Version: 4:3.5.2-2+b1
Severity: important
If I create a new user having /bin/zsh as shell, or if an existing
user has /bin/zsh as shell, then login is impossible for them with
kdm: once the login prompt disappears after password has been entered
(normal), we get back into kdm again after a couple of seconds
(anormal). I don't know if it is a kdm or a bash issue. The only fix I
could find for this is to chsh to /bin/bash the users who used zsh. I
don't know whether the problem appears with other shells as well...
Actually, the log message in the /var/log/kdm.log shows something like
a bash error ("shell-init" string found in /bin/bash):
------------------------------
shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access
parent directories: No such file or directory

This was reported earlier, and kdm 3.5.3-1 should have the fix. Let us
know if you still experience the bug with that version.
