Hello to all:
I'd like to thank everyone who offered insight to why xscreensaver lock
wasn't working.
Just this morning I performed a last-minute search, based on some leads,
of possible pam configuration issues. One URL that popped up via google
was http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs//pam/FAQ
Q9 contained a lead to make `which xlock` setuid root (chmod +s). I did
this for `which screensaver`, rebooted, and authentication worked!
So that was an unexpected change, but documented from a reliable source.
I hope this maybe helps someone else who may hit some of the same
obstacles as I.
A good weekend to all, and stay tuned for more questions... :-)
Scott
