Pwsafe does the right thing here. mlock default limit is 64K, and pwsafe binary requests (on my system) 69K. After increase the memlock limit, there are no warnings anymore. Can you verify that you have set the limits appropriately? regards, iustin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
