[Bug 404321] Re: gnome-screensaver should allow screen unlock even if account is locked out

[Alex Mauer]

It's totally unusable to me, since I only have one AD account so
switching to another user isn't really viable.

Obviously there's the workaround of going to a console session as root
and killing gnome-screensaver, but that's just silly in my opinion.

Interesting that the microsoft support link doesn't give a rationale
either way for this policy.  It would probably be good to have it as a
configurable option though, rather than forcing it to work one way or
the other.

Wouldn't a locked account result in a successful pam auth, but
unsuccessful pam account result, rather than checking for a specific
error code?
