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

[Mark Jenkins]

** Description changed:

  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.
+ If I login to kde with a blank password and the sesison is locked, it
+ will refuse to unlock.
  
  /usr/bin/kdesktop_lock is in kdesktop. Using 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu27 (dapper-
  security)
