Once in a while some of our users have the problem that his Sunray station gets blank and after several times hitting the enter key a password query from xlock pops up but they are unable to lock the screen. Checking the processes shows that no xscreensaver for this user is running but a xlock process owned by root. This is on Solaris 10/SPARC with the latest patches running Sunray Server 3.1 also with all the latest patches. It happens only to users that use smartcards.
In one of the old threads here I found that this is because utxlock can for some reason not use xscreensaver to lock the screen and uses xlock instead. It was suggested to modify pam.conf in the following way: xlock auth sufficient /opt/SUNWut/lib/pam_sunray.so syncondisplay xlock auth requisite pam_authtok_get.so.1 xlock auth required pam_dhkeys.so.1 xlock auth required pam_unix_cred.so.1 xlock auth required pam_unix_auth.so.1 I implemented this but this did not help - I just had a user again with the same problem. I tried to kill the /usr/openwin/bin/xlock process and even the utxlock for this user but the session is dead and the terminal stays black. The only solution seems to be to do a utsession -k and terminate the user session which is not a good solution. I have three questions: 1. Is it known why this happens and why sometimes xlock gets started and can one prevent this. 2. Is there a way to make xlock unlockable in a sunray session? 3. Can one rescue such a session such that the user can at least save their data? I can open a service request with Sun if required.
