A user asked an olc question about xscreensaver on the RS/6000. It did not
use his password; instead xscreensaver -l asked him to enter a password.
I thought SIPB had decided to make xscreensaver on the RS/6000 use the
encrypted password in /etc/security/passwd if possible?
Relevant info:
user was on w20-575-2
/mit/sipb pointed to the SIPB cell copy of the locker
/mit/sipb/rsaixbin was first in $path
xscreensaver was not aliased
setuid was allowed from the SIPB cell
the xscreensaver binary was setgid 7
