Hi,

thanks for maintaining openrc. After talking with the maintainer on IRC,
I think currently, openrc user services do not work. Copying attached
service to /etc/user/init.d and running rc-update --user
gnome-keyring-daemon add errors because it can't find the needed
runlevels in .config/rc/runlevels. This should be created automatically
by pam_openrc according to upstream:

23:15 < navi> werdahias: common-session i'd say
23:15 < navi> gentoo puts it in system-login
23:15 < navi> you also want to put common_session into /etc/pam.d/openrc-run or similar
23:16 < werdahias> navi: thanks!

/etc/pam.d/common-session has pam_elogind in there, but not pam_openrc;
so I believe it should be added there. PAM is not really my area of
expertise, happy to test any changes.

best,

werdahias

Matthias,

I think this is already in place, but disabled by default. See changelog for
0.63-1:

   * openrc --user: add pam-auth-update(8) config, disabled by default.

If you run

 sudo pam-auth-update

you can enable openrc pam session.

I suppose there is a question if it should be enabled by default.

Best wishes

Mark
