[Bug 891839] Re: xscreensaver will not unlock when using Kerberos authentication

[Richard Griswold]

That was the problem.  The permissions for /etc/krb5.conf were set to
0600.  After setting them to 0644 everything works correctly.

Everything was working fine before the upgrade, and I didn't change the
permissions on the file manually, so I'm not sure how they got set to
0600.

Title:
  xscreensaver will not unlock when using Kerberos authentication

Status in “libpam-krb5” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Since upgrading from Ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10, xscreensaver will not
  unlock my screen if I am using Kerberos authentication.  It worked
  fine before the upgrade, and it still works if I am not using Kerberos
  authentication.  If I am using Kerberos authentication, however, it
  will not accept my password, so I have to log in to a console and kill
  xscreensaver.

  I enabled verbose output for xscreensaver, and I saw an authentication
  failure message from PAM in the output.  I've tried rebooting and I've
  tried reinstalling xscreensaver, but this problem still persists.  I
  can log in (console, ssh, and graphically [SLiM]), run su, and do
  everything else with no authentication problems.  It only seems to
  affect xscreensaver.  I have not modified the xscreensaver PAM
  configuration.
