[expert] KDE 2.0.1 Lockscreen password???

[John Wolford]

Good LORD. I remember awhile back reading about someone complaining 
that their KDE lockscreen
password accepted a null password just as easily as the one it was 
SUPPOSED to be accepting.
"That's crazy," i thought, and i didn't see anything more of that 
thread.

Well for some reason i remembered that just now and decided to try it 
on my box. NOT ONLY DOES THE
NULL PASSWORD WORK BUT SO DOES ANYTHING ELSE. Am i totally missing the 
boat on this one?? This
MUST be a bug, and i've been avoiding upgrading my KDE until i 
resurrect my test box (used for
this very purpose). Is there a fix for 2.0.1?

I _can't_ believe that i've been letting my box sit here vulnerable for 
this whole time. That'sjust crazy.

Thanks,
j
