Bug#495806: Locked screen accepts any password to unlock

2008-08-20 Thread Jan Christoph Nordholz
tags 495806 + unreproducible thankyou Hi Troy, I can't reproduce the problem, no matter which PAM version I have installed (0.99.7 or 1.0.1). You are referring to the password prompt that screen shows upon resumption of a screen session that has been locked with the 'lockscreen' command, right?

2008-08-24 Thread Jan Christoph Nordholz
Hi Raphael, your report is correct, but if /var/tmp/vi.recover was really a symlink to some existing directory (like /), mkdir -p won't fail at all - in fact, it won't even be executed because the [ -d ] test will already succeed. I'll fix it properly - thanks for catching it. Regards, Jan -
