On both the screensaver password has been enabled. On both, when logging on through KDM the password is often rejected (it seems one can type too fast). The screensaver, however, rejects any attempt to enter a password failing every time. Then one has to restart X, losing work etc.
Not entirely sure, but sounds like an issue with PAM. Basically, you need to make sure that PAM is set up to authenticate. There are several READMEs around, although I don't know if these are only in the KDE source code package. Unfortunately KDM doesn't work at all for me -- when I start it, the keyboard locks up, and the only thing that works is the magic SysRq (gdm works fine though). Can't help with the other two, I'm afraid. Cheers, -- Chris Howells E-Mail: chris.h@gmx.co.uk ICQ: 93699029 Web: http://www.chowells.uklinux.net
