Description Aurélien Grosdidier 2006-04-24 17:57:49 UTC

Description of problem:

As kcheckpass is not setuid root, it cannot authenticate using a LDAP server.
This is a problem as once the screen is locked, it cannot be unlocked. See the
bug report I initially reported @ http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=126152 .

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kdebase-3.5.2-0.2.fc5

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. setup a LDAP authentification on the server
2. login w/ KDE as a user from the LDAP directory
3. lock your screen, you can't unlock it
  
Actual results:

You have to restart X.

Expected results:

The screensaver should disappear

Additional info:

It works after:

 chmod +s `which kcheckpass`

it's now fixed in kdebase-3.5.2-4. It will be available in rawhide soon. The fix
also will be included in next kdebase rebuild for FC5 update.  Thanks for your
report.

Comment 2 Tomas Hoger 2006-05-03 14:49:30 UTC

FC5 update (kdebase-3.5.2-0.3.fc5) is broken and does not contain kcheckpass as all!

$ rpm -q kdebase
kdebase-3.5.2-0.3.fc5
$ rpm -ql kdebase | grep kcheckpass
/etc/pam.d/kcheckpass
$

Result is that it's not possible to unlock screen saver and one has to manually
kill kdesktop_lock as suggested by error message.

Comment 3 Sammy 2006-05-03 15:35:33 UTC

I confirm this as well!

Comment 4 Than Ngo 2006-05-04 10:13:59 UTC

it seems a packacking bug in kdebase that kcheckpass was not included in this
version. I will push new kdebase packacge in FC5 update ASAP which resolves this
issue. Thanks for your report.
