[SunHELP] Screen Saver Password?

[Peter Stokes]

Hi Jeff

Does the user you are using have the same uid as another user who is higher
up the password file than your username?

Also if you are using NIS, is it getting confused if you are logged in as
root?

Just a thought, no real experience of the problem.

Subject: [SunHELP] Screen Saver Password?


Hello all,

I think I had this problem before, but it was never solved.  Now, on my
Sun Ultra 1 running Solaris 8.  I use CDE as my window manager or whatever
and whenever the screen saver kicks in and it needs a password to resume,
it never seems to know my password.  I type in my password over and over
again so I know I'm typing the right thing.  Heck, I can ssh to the
machine using the same password and login just fine.  It's just that darn
screen saver password.

Has anyone else ever had this problem?  If so, what did you do to fix it?
Thank you very much! :)
