Just found an article about bypassing any screen locker on latest X Org
server.
http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2012/q1/200
F15 has 1.10.4-1 but from what I see, F16 has 1.11.1-1 (with latest
update 11.11.3-1)
Can anyone confirm whether the issue is present on F16?
Cheers

Today I saw a very weird behavior when mount samba shares.
On F11, I used to mount samba shares with the following command:

Then I was prompted for a password. This way, my password was never
