@urusha: thanks for the work, we probably want to wait for testing and feedback in raring before backporting to stable
Could you also update the bug to be compliant to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates if you want a backport to precise? It means having a least those infos in the bug description: impact, test case, regression potential Unsubscribing ubuntu-sponsors for the moment so it's out of the review list until we get some feedback on the patch and get the bug updated ** Also affects: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu Precise) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu Precise) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu Precise) Status: New => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/952771 Title: Gnome Screensaver should handle expired password tokens Status in GNOME Screensaver: New Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in “gnome-screensaver” source package in Precise: Triaged Bug description: Gnome Screensaver should handle expired password tokens. Currently it does not. It just unlocks screen, so in case you're using kerberos - your credentials cache stays expired and you need to manually change your password or logout and then login again (lightdm, gdm, etc. do handle expired password tokens). Actually, there is a mainstream bugreport with patch solving the problem, but it seems noone is interested in solving this issue: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=648875 The patch provided by Brian C. Huffman solves the issue and is compatible with today's GS behavior (it can be emulated using special pam config, see comment 9 there). Both solutions using this patch (with and without "passwd required pam_permit.so") tested by me with oneiric's gnome-screensaver-3.2.0-ubuntu1 and work as expected. This is really nice improvement for big corporate environments. So, It would be nice to apply this patch even if it's not in upstream yet.
