Package: gringotts
Version: 1.2.8-8
Followup-For: Bug #299566

I had the same problem. I did think to look at README.Debian, but it was
not apparent that it was at all related to the errors I was getting. I
am still not sure whether my system is more or less secure now and
whether I should be feeling better or worse. The pam changes don't take
effect until the next login, so making the changes in README.Debian
doesn't seem to help at first - and since it wasn't obviously the same
problem in the first place I was left in a very confused state.

I recommend that the program check for sufficient memlock ability and
give a sensible error in the insufficient case. Even better, start
without locking memory and displaying an error indicating what is going
on and the solution.

In the absence of that solution, more explicit documentation would be
good.
