By default, CentOS v5 requires a user's password when the system wakes
up from the screensaver. This can be disabled by each user, but how
can I disable this system-wide? Many of my users forget to do this,
which results in workstations being locked up.
Ctrl-Alt-Bksp will fix that right up. I'm not a big fan of users leaving
workstations unsecured when they walk away.
Don't you mean CTRL+ALT+DEL?
That'd work too, but the reboot is unnecessary. Ctrl-Alt-Bksp will just
kill the X server (and thus the user's session). X will then respawn
itself and restart GDM.
I don't think the OP wanted a plaster, he wants a solution :)
One person's solution is another's giant gaping security hole.
