Hide Forgot
I'm running 6.0 with all updates applied, our passwd file is distributed via NIS. After changing my passwd w/ yppasswd and verifying that it works, I can still unlock my screen with my old passwd and the new passwd. The old passwd does not work for anything else except xscreensaver. I am running nscd. Marc Heckmann
xscreensaver uses the NIS password in effect at the time that the xscreensaver parent process was started - normally this is when you start your session. From the man page: If you change your password after xscreensaver has been launched, it will continue using your old password to unlock the screen until xscreensaver is restarted. So, after you change your password, you'll have to do xscreensaver-command -restart
