I had a look around the system today, actually I think I musta been high
these last few weeks/months because xlock ceased authenticating. Now I
took a look at the /etc/spwd.db file and here are its permissions:
-rw-r----- 1 root _shadow 40960 Sep 19 17:15 /etc/spwd.db
Notice: group _shadow
This is important.
-rwxr-sr-x 1 root auth 2303706 Aug 18 06:49 /usr/X11R6/bin/xlock
That's the permissions of xlock, on OpenBSD/amd64 and OpenBSD/i386.
How exactly is OpenBSD's xlock communicating with the master password file?
Is there another program it exec's that is setgid to _shadow? Just wondering,
seems kinda odd..
look at the /usr/libexec/auth directory.
