[Bug 89906] Re: kdesktop_lock refuses to unlock accounts with blank password

[Mark Jenkins]

** Summary changed:

- kblankscrn.kss refuses to unlock accounts with blank password
+ kdesktop_lock refuses to unlock accounts with blank password

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: kdebase-bin
+ Binary package hint: kdesktop
  
  A user account can have a blank password. To set it to blank
  # passwd -d username
  
  GDM uses PAM for authentication, and PAM will allow users with blank
  passwords to authenticate in certain situations if nullok_secure in
  /etc/pam.d/common-auth is changed to nullok.
  
  After doing this it is posible to login to kde with a blank password. If
  the sesison is locked, it will refuse to unlock.
  
- /usr/bin/kblankscrn.kss is in kdebase-bin. Using 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu27
- (dapper-security)
+ /usr/bin/kdesktop_lock is in kdesktop. Using 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu27 (dapper-
+ security)
