Subject: [2.5.64] X unlock doesn't work

Now there's a new one... I just noticed that in my 2.5.64 kernel, when my
screensaver comes up and asks for a password to unlock, no matter what
password I give it is rejected. With 2.5.59 passwords work for the user
logged in.

Redhat 7.3, GNOME.

I just noticed because this is the first time since 2.5.64 came out that I
did anything from console, since it's a mail machine, stats collector,
etc.

I'll try 2.5.65 next week when I have more time.

I've had this problem for several weeks now, but I had (have) no idea
where the problem is.

Different distro, different desktop manager.

Try to play with pwconv and pwunconv.... It worked for me though
I really *can't* explain why...

Just a me too - Red Hat 8.0, gnome -

xscreensaver unlock stopped working somewhere
in the 2.5.6x series - I figured it must be some signal
related issue -
