Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: passwd
this bug is identical to bug #166793 of the Debian tracking system and
was corrected at 4.0.13-1 of Debian. The version in Dapper is
4.0.13-7ubuntu3, however it still lingers. The version in
Debian/Testing is now 4.0.15 and the version in Debian/Unstable is
4.0.16. The version in Debian/Stable is 4.0.3 (much older).
Presently, the owner of /etc/shadow is set to root.root each time the
system is booted. The correct ownership should be root.shadow. Without
the correct ownership, screensavers such as kscreensaver will not allow
for a locked screen to open back up (password check fails).
I have corrected the problem by manually changing the ownership of the
//etc/shadow file to root.shadow at the console (Ctrl-Alt-F1).
I also am trying a 4.0.16 build from unstable to see if it works after a
reboot.
