The patch above didn't go smoothly, and I can't justify working more on it during work time. :)
But I've found a workaround: If you add 'auth sufficient pam_ldap.so' to the BEGINNING on /etc/pam.d/gnome-screensaver, gnome-screensaver unlocks properly for LDAP users. BUT, there's an odd effect on local users. If you're logged in as a local user and screen locks, you have to enter your password twice*. The first time, it'll go to 'checking...' but it doesn't gray-out the text box. Type you password in again and hit enter and the screen will unlock. Note that I'm not expert in PAM, but I don't think this will leave gaping holes in your system. * I forgot to test if you could just hit return or enter garbage for the first entry, I suspect you can. -- Unable to unlock screen when using ldap https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/64301 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is the registrant for gnome-screensaver. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
