slackware64-current, post PAM introduction: xscreensaver complaining in log
by ddmayne from LinuxQuestions.org on (#53QMN)
Code:# cat /var/log/secure
May 20 12:04:59 darkstar xscreensaver: pam_group(xscreensaver:setcred): unable to set the group membership for user: Operation not permitted
May 20 15:07:28 darkstar xscreensaver: pam_group(xscreensaver:setcred): unable to set the group membership for user: Operation not permittedThe above log is abbreviated, but I am seeing this repeated warning. I am using the "blank screen" only screensaver with a screenlock. I googled this and see some others reported the same bug years ago. I don't see the obvious solution, and configuring PAM is not my strong suit, at least, not yet.
Perhaps, the group knows the solution already. I know that PAM integration is very new and there are bound to be glitches. ;)
