I've traced the bug in the pam_unix2.so module. The call to getspnam_r() in pam_sm_authenticate() (file unix_auth.c:280) sets errno to 13 (EACCESS) when called from gnome-screensaver. A normal login does return the entry in you shadow file.
I've not enough experience with pam and the system interna to trace the bug further at the moment, so could someone enlighten me or find a solution for this bug? Is this in some way related to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=370847 ? -- gnome-screensaver does not work with pam_unix2.so https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89881 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gnome-screensaver in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
