Description Chris PeBenito (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-04-24 12:46:24 UTC
the xlockmore build needs to have an entry in /etc/pam.d to function correctly.
 As is, when you use it to lock the X screen, you cant enter your password to
unlock the screen, since it cant autheticate (via pam) correctly.  a
'/etc/pam.d/xlock' is missing.  For my own system this seemed to be sufficient
for /etc/pam.d/xlock:

#%PAM-1.0
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
