[Bug 278842] [NEW] kde lacks own pam file for screensaver

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Release: Intrepid (devel)

KDE4 doesn't provide an own pam file for it's screensaver/screenlock component. Cause it's missing pam falls back to /etc/pam.d/others. If a user has a more restrictive /etc/pam.d/others than the default one (pam_deny.so) pam denies everything causing the kcheckpass component not being able to verify the password. the user can't login anymore.
KDE3 and Gnome both provide such a pam file and as far as I remember there had been one as I testet KDE4 from the PPA under hardy.
