Package: kscreensaver Severity: important
Let's suppose you have a user with empty password in your system, which is permitted to login on :0 If you lock the screen with kscreensaver, it will prompt for password, but it would not be satisfied with empty password and so will never let that user leave xscreensaver other than via ctrl-alt-backspace. It was broken the same way in etch, then it worked for some time in lenny/testing, now I've updated to lenny/stable and it no longer works, again. I can't figure out which PAM passes one should do to make it work, because PAM is unsolvable puzzle: it isn't going to work silently regardless of what you do. /var/log/auth.log contain those lines on uncessful attempt of leaving kscreensaver: Sep 6 19:04:18 ant unix_chkpwd[1989]: check pass; user unknown Sep 6 19:04:19 ant unix_chkpwd[1990]: check pass; user unknown Sep 6 19:04:19 ant kcheckpass[1988]: pam_unix(kscreensaver:auth): authentication failure; logname=lena uid=1002 euid=1002 tty=:0 ruser= rhost= user=lena Sep 6 19:04:19 ant kcheckpass[1988]: Authentication failure for lena (invoked by uid 1002) And yes, I'm sure that I DO need the user with empty password. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-6-k7 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
