Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
If /etc/nsswitch.conf has 'shadow: files db', then passwords are in
/var/lib/misc/shadow.db, which is mode 640 root:shadow.
gnome-screensaver refuses to unlock until the file is made mode 644.
Changing gnome-screensaver to be setgid shadow is of no help (even of
we're doing mode blank), since gnome-screensaver politely throws away
it's ability to read the shadow.db.
Could we please make it so that libnss-db and gnome-screensaver can co-
exist?
thanks,
