+>> I've fixed this by changing the autologin pam.d definition to include
+>> "login" rather than "system-auth".
+>>
+>> login adds the optional session module for pam_ck_connector.

+>>
+>> There may be other login systems that have similar problems (e.g. the

+>>
+>> Any thoughts.
+> 
+> Does anyone know what the right way to fix the above is?
+> 
+> I'd like to issue an update when appropriate to take care of this.

+Ping!!
