Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
After locking the screen using gnome-screensaver, I can't unlock it
again.
I see the following in /var/log/auth.log:
Oct 23 13:07:15 nick unix_chkpwd[3309]: check pass; user unknown
Oct 23 13:07:15 nick gnome-screensaver-dialog: (pam_unix) authentication
failure; logname= uid=1001 euid=1001 tty=n013h179.wst.mun.ca:1.0 ruser= rhost=
user=the_user_name
I had a similar problem with KDE's screensaver... the solution was to set
kcheckpass suid root (chmod 4775 `which kcheckpass`), as it was meant to be.
