Description Mark Knecht 2003-11-14 20:36:41 UTC

On multiple systems, with more or less standard make.conf values, I have found
that xscreensaver (or XFree86 I suppose) is not trapping <Alt><Ctrl><Backspace>
and hence does not provide the expected security. IT drops me into whatever
user's console started X and I now get the account.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. simply hit <Alt><Ctrl><Backspace>
Actual Results:  
console access

Expected Results:  
Screen should remain locked.

Severity is normal or extrememly severe, based on your point of view I suppose.

OK, so I see this is well known and I guess that means it's not a bug.

Sorry. Mark it closed.
