Login works OK, no problems, but I get an extra login failure message

Hello. I’m running Rocky OS 10 (details below).

No problems logging it. On the login screen I enter my credentials, and Rocky OS tells me that I am logged on.

But then it also says that there was a failed login from the last successful login. Well, there wasn’t a login failure before, so I don’t know what’s going on. I’m curious to find out what’s going on.

Not sure. The only error is this one. It seems to happen a lot.

“gkr-pam: unable to locate daemon control file”

If this is the error, it is, apparently, cosmetic in nature - although it does rather defeat the purpose of warning the system administrator that someone tried to log on, and failed.
