This bug is still current. GDM still freezes when the Kerberos password is expired.
Seeing as how this bug has been opened about 6 months after the last response was posted here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=509092 I am unsure whether it is relevant or not. For the record, lightdm doesn't work either (in Precise) when the password is expired. KDM v3 on Debian Squeeze also has a problem (it tells the user the password is expired, but lets them login and won't prompt for a password change). ** Bug watch added: Red Hat Bugzilla #509092 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=509092 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/613371 Title: Login is not possible in gdm when the user password is in expiration period Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: gdm Login is not possible in gdm when the user password is in expiration period With an up-to-date maverick system, integrated in an Active Directory network, the login of domain users with gdm is not possible when the password is in the expiration period. After the insertion of the password, the gdm screen freezes, showing a warning about the future password expiration (see screenshot). The same user can instead login using the console. Local users and domain users, whose password are not in expiration period, can login normally. The AD integration of the system was done with winbind and PAM modules. gdm 2.30.2.is.2.30.2-0ubuntu3 libpam0g 1.1.1-3ubuntu3 libpam-krb5 4.2-1 Some log files are reported below.
