Package: libpam-ccreds Severity: minor Hi there, I'm a happy pam_ccreds user! But there's a small problem with desktop users... The password cache of pam_ccreds is only readable by root which means that if a user's screensaver locks the desktop he/she can't exit the screensaver until plugged to the office network! (as gnome-screensaver cannot read the security cache)
I have no idea on how this can be fixed without compromising security, maybe on SELinux systems a policy can be arranged so the cache is readable by any process during PAM checks... dunno I'll leave that up to you ;) In the meantime the workaround is easy: Do not stop working at any time until you get back to the office! ;) Cheers, Marc -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (650, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
