System name: phantom-tollbooth
Type and version: SPARC/Classic 8.1.0 (with mkserv)
Display type: cgthree
What were you trying to do?
Run xscreensaver
What's wrong:
Typing xscreensaver with no options launched the program
correctly. When I clicked on the icon, I was immdiately asked for a
password, and then asked to confirm the password. It then used that
password to unlock the screen. It never wanted or used my Athena
password.
What should have happened:
I don't ever remember having to set a password before
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
I have these customizations in ~/.Xresources
xscreensaver*autoLock: true
xscreensaver*lockCommand: zaway
xscreensaver*useBackground: true
xscreensaver*float.bitmap: /usr/lib/X11/bitmaps/mensetmanus
xscreensaver*lockMessage: Be back soon ...
I also tried xlock, and got this message, which I suppose is ok, since
xlock allows people to indefinately lock machines.
xlock: can't get the user password. Exiting ...
You need to run xlock in setuid root mode on your local machine.
Contact your system administrator.
