Well, it's not "totally unusable" since you can still switch to another user. And there should be other users available if you're under a domain setup. The whole "account locking" AD feature is buggy, since every large AD domain user knows they can easily lock out someone else's account.
I guess in the end it all depends on how "being locked out" translates, since I can imagine a bug asking for the complete contrary of what you're asking. In that discussion, it might be worth considering that Microsoft does not apply lockout policy to the "screen unlock" dialog: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/188700 Maybe gnome-screensaver's unlock screen dialog could be taught to recognize a specific "locked" error code, but I'm far from convinced we should do that. ** Changed in: likewise-open (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New ** Changed in: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist -- gnome-screensaver should allow screen unlock even if account is locked out https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/404321 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
