[Bug 92932] Re: Cannot unlock the session if the session is locked by screensaver or locked from start menu, KDE 3.5.6

[z3non]

I've found out, that the problem lies in the permissions of /etc/shadow,
which were wrong in my system for some reason, as I explained it in
#279560. So if this gets fixed (I assume in base-passwd), the
permissions of kcheckpass can be set the following way:

$ sudo chgrp /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kcheckpass
$ sudo chmod 2755 /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kcheckpass

It doesn't need the SUID bit, GUID bit and the appropriate group is
enough, when /etc/shadow has the right permissions (owned and readable
by group 'shadow')

regards,
tom
