Slackware does not use PAM and the Slackware community won't
accept anything that uses PAM (actually, for the last version Patrick
Volderking put Google Chrome SlackBuild in extra/ with a PAM solibs
package that installs in /opt/google/chrome to ensure PAM libraries are
used only by Chrome for runtime…).
Anyway I didn't see anything obvious in the diff between KDE 3.5.10's
kdebase/kdm/backend and the Trinity one that would prevent non-PAM
authentication from working.
I'm attaching this diff (there is some part in ctrl.c I don't really
understand, sockets and perms are not the parts of programming I know
the best :)).
My packages for Slackware 13.1 are ready ---
except for one major
bug: KDM.
I can't login using the Trinity KDM. At least one other
Slackware/Trinity user has confirmed this behavior.
I am uncomfortable uploading packages when I know KDM is broken.
Yes, Slackware users can use the KDE 4 KDM, which is part of the
stock Slackware, but that is...icky. :(
I know everybody is busy but if I can get help with a patch then I
would feel much better. If the patch succeeds then I'll submit the
bug report to ensure SVN/GIT gets updated.
I'm fairly certain the problem is authentication. When I login all
I see is a "Login failed" message.
Slackware does not use PAM.
Slackware supports PolicyKit but using that layer is not required by
users. Indeed, the KDE 4 KDM, which is part of the stock Slackware,
is not built or dependent upon PolicyKit. I can login with the KDE
4 KDM just fine.
As a note, I built KDE 3.5.10 for Slackware 13.1 and KDM there
works fine.
I built kdebase 3.5.13 with the WITH_PAM=OFF option. No change.
Allowing root logins through KDM fails too, so the problem is
unlikely to be file permissions.
I also have tried enabling and disabling SAK. No change.
Thanks!

Why not just use pam? My guess is that kdm uses pam to authenticate.
