Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: kdebase-bin
A user account can have a blank password. To set it to blank
# passwd -d username
GDM uses PAM for authentication, and PAM will allow users with blank
passwords to authenticate in certain situations if nullok_secure in
/etc/pam.d/common-auth is changed to nullok.
After doing this it is posible to login to kde with a blank password. If
the sesison is locked, it will refuse to unlock.
/usr/bin/kblankscrn.kss is in kdebase-bin. Using 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu27
(dapper-security)
** Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
