xscreensaver lock problem resolved!

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hello to all:

I'd like to thank everyone who offered insight to why xscreensaver lock wasn't working.

Just this morning I performed a last-minute search, based on some leads, of possible pam configuration issues. One URL that popped up via google was http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs//pam/FAQ

Q9 contained a lead to make `which xlock` setuid root (chmod +s). I did this for `which screensaver`, rebooted, and authentication worked!

So that was an unexpected change, but documented from a reliable source.

I hope this maybe helps someone else who may hit some of the same obstacles as I.

A good weekend to all, and stay tuned for more questions... :-)

Scott
