I have been having trouble with xscreensaver not unlocking when I use
smb password auth. I have tried it with pam_smbpass.so and
pam_smb_auth.so, and neither works (although both work fine with a
regular login). I haven't been able to find anything on this. Any clues?
Here are the specifics (sorry so long):
Log file with three password auth schemes: pam_smbpass.so, pam_smb_auth.so,
and pam_unix.so (Only pam_unix.so works.)
