I have a SunBlade 2000 system that I upgraded from Solaris 8 to Solaris
9.
I now have a strange problem that I can't find an answer to. The CDE
screenlock does not work properly for a normal user. When logging in as
root everything works fine. Here are the symptoms:
Click the CDE screen lock icon and it appears to work but if you just
hit enter without entering a password the session resumes. FYI: I get
the same results calling /usr/dt/bin/dtaction LockDispay directly. It
also starts filling the .dt/errorlog with the following entries:
Mon Apr 25 17:00:59 2005
dtsession: pam_start status = 4
Mon Apr 25 17:00:59 2005
dtsession: pam_start status = 4
These entries will not stop until you logout of the CDE session.
I thought it must be a PAM problem but I have tried numerous PAM
configurations and nothing seems to help. I have even tried the
generic pam.conf from the Sun Blueprints "Extending Authentication
in the Solaris 9 Operating Environment Using Pluggable Authentication
Modules (PAM) Part I". Here is the dtsession section
dtsession auth requisite pam_authtok_get.so.1
dtsession auth required pam_unix_auth.so.1
I have the latest Solaris patch cluster and all of the latest CDE
patches. I even did a reinstall of Solaris 9 which did not help.
I found a similar problem referenced by Sun's Bug ID 4115685 but it
is old and was related to NIS+ which we are not using.
I need to resolve this before I start upgrading our servers to Solaris 9
so any help would be greatly appreciated and of course I will summarize.
Thanks!
