Description sucho2 2000-12-04 04:50:01 UTC
When I lock the screen from KDE, I can't log back in!  It seems, KDE doesn't recognize my password.
The only way to log back in to KDE is to shut down the computer and turn in back on!
But then all my unsaved works are lost!

KDE 1.X

Problem exist. Incorrect auth/pam use?

Try to use Ctrl-Shift-Backspace to shutdown X as a temporary
solution or Ctrl-Shift-F? onto different virtual console and kill KDE lock
process.

Bye!

Does making the screen-savers setuid as per the documentation (pointed out 
by Sergey Voronkov) solve the originator's problem?

Originator reports satisfaction with making the screen savers setuid, 
and also satisfaction with FreeBSD in general :)
