> Has there been a port made of xlock that uses the new passwd form? Last time this came up, the solution seemed to be to ensure that xlock is made setuid root[1]. This allows it to access the password file and get the real information, rather than the shadow information normally returned (try 'cat /etc/passwd' as a regular user, you'll see all the passwords are '*'d out). I think the latest version of xlock is "xlockmore-2.7.tar". Make sure you've got this one or later as well.
