I had this same problem. We had to disable all screen locking because
there was a nasty bug in SRSS2 patch -05 that causes the session to be
terminated upon detaching when the screen saver was active.
GNOME seems to be very teprimental about when it does the right thing
or even listens to what is in the screen saver config. We can't change
it from GNOME. (Known bug that sun has not fixed yet).
We have to tell our users to go into CDE, disable the screen saver/
screen lock if they don't want to detach when it comes on.
I really think this should be user configurable, and not dependent on
PAM. A simple Detach_Upon_Lock variable would be nice.
We are having a whole slew of problems with NSCM. I just turned it on
over the weeked to improve load balancing, which it has been doing an
excellent job of; however...
- with an extremely small subset of users after they enter in their
login name, the password dialog box never appears, the DTU just sits
there with a grey background and the dt "X" mouse cursour, the DTU needs
to be power cycled
- in xscreensaver prefences under GNOME, selecting the menu option,
"blank now", detaches; unsetting the lock the screen option and waiting
the n minutes, detaches; unsetting the lock the screen option and
hitting the preview button, detaches; setting the blank at 10 minutes
and the lock at 30 minutes, detaches after 10 minutes
- one user doesn't show up in 'utwho', but does show up in finger:
bessel ~ % finger | grep dtlocal
[snip]
uxxxxx William J Uxxxxx dtlocal 2 Mon 10:54 :17
[snip]
bessel ~ % utwho -aH
DISP Token User
[snip]
16 auth.kxxxxx kxxxxx
18 auth.wxxxxxx wxxxxxx
[snip]
The user uxxxxx has a complete CDE session running; however, SRSS has no
idea of its existance (it doesn't show up in the admin GUI either), and
it is now no longer attached to any DTU so the user can't get it back.
- we believe the auto-logout in tcsh is also causing issues, since
some users with a fully disabled screensaver still get detached, though
we haven't been able to fully isolate this as the cause yet
I'm going to enable the "Allow Exit from Mobile Sessions" as a temporary
fix and start a support call. (BTW, the "Allow Exit from Mobile
Sessions" needs to be better documented, in the Admin Guide you have to
infer what this option means by reading the entire NSCM chapter.)
