# 14.17 Why isn't kdm or klock working in Redhat?

Please check whether you have the /etc/pam.d/kde file. If it doesn't exist, create one by copying (or making a symlink) the xdm file to kde.

However, kdebase-1.1pre2 is supposed to make a symbolic link from /etc/pam.d/xdm to /etc/pam.d/kde, if it does not exist.

There are reports that the uninstall scripts for kde-1.1pre1 "rh5x" RPMs interfere with the post-install scripts of kde-1.1pre2 "rh5x" RPMs.

If you have problems, force a reinstall:

     rpm -Uvh --force kdesupport-1.1pre2-1rh5x.i386.rpm
     rpm -Uvh --force kdelibs-1.1pre2-1rh5x.i386.rpm
     rpm -Uvh --force kdebase-1.1-pre2-1rh5x.i386.rpm
