The bug is still there in Ubuntu 8.04.1. I am using pam_unix2.so as here we use md5 passwords over NIS, and pam_unix.so fails to update this type of passwords (no way of using passwd instead of yppasswd, and this one only does the old des crypt). In /var/log/auth.log the following line can be found when trying to unlock the screen:
Jul 15 10:09:27 lslpc50 gnome-screensaver-dialog: pam_unix2(gnome- screensaver:auth): conversation failed For now I will probably try to use pam_unix.so for auth and pam_unix2.so for password changing, disabling all the password types that pam_unix.so couldn't understand (e.g., Blowfish). -- gnome-screensaver does not work with pam_unix2.so https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89881 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
