Hi I have a problem with xscreensaver locking under kde. I would like to disable locking when xscreensaver comes up, because the screensaver lock does not work with NIS passwords. It is possible, of course, for each user to disable locking individually under KDE Control Center > Desktop > Screensaver, then turn "Require" password" off, but I would like to turn off locking with xscreensaver for everyone, system-wide, so it is permanent. I had a look at the XScreenSaver file in /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults. The strange thing is is that the option lock is set to "false", irrespective whether "Require password" is set on or off. The other strange thing is that, unlike kde, locking with xscreensaver under gnome does work with NIS passwords, that is, a user can unlock the screen using their NIS password under gnome, but not under kde. I changed klock to chmod 700 so that the "Lock Screen" option no longer works for ordinary users (this was because klock also does not accept NIS passwords), but this still leaves the possibility open to lock the screen with xscreensaver. This must mean that xscreensaver is not using klock - but what then is it using and how can the locking device be disabled permanently with xscreensaver? Any help will be most appreciated.
