Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated gnome-screensaver package that fixes one bug is now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The gnome-screensaver package contains the GNOME project's official screen saver
program. It is designed for improved integration with the GNOME desktop,
including themeability, language support, and Human Interface Guidelines (HIG)
compliance. It also provides screen-locking and fast user-switching from a
locked screen.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, gnome-screensaver's PAM configuration file was not marked as a
configuration file in the gnome-screensaver spec file, and thus the
configuration file was overwritten when updating the gnome-screensaver package.
Therefore, after the screen had been locked, users could not log into the system
by using some of the previously specified authentication methods, or when users
successfully logged in, automatic re-authentication with some applications could
fail. With this update, the spec file has been corrected, and the pre-existing
gnome-screensaver's PAM configuration file is now preserved when the package is
updated so authentication problems no longer occur. (BZ#766799)
All users of gnome-screensaver are advised to upgrade to this updated package,
which fixes this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
