[Bug 351463] Re: KDE4 screensaver lock doesn't accept password

[resplin]

The problem resolved itself on two of my machines when upgrading to
Karmic release. One machine, however, still wouldn't unlock the screen.

I found the solution for my situation at bug #299717. I needed to fix
the group assigned to /etc/shadow.

The solution was to:
chgrp shadow /etc/shadow

kscreenlocker unlocks now.

I'm not sure if I messed the group up while doing a bulk add of users,
or if Alpha 6 didn't set the group right. Fresh installs of Karmic
release appears to not show the problem.

I vote that the bug be closed. Thank you for the help.
