            Bug ID: 15316
           Summary: xscreensaver should check if linux-pam is enabled
           Product: buildroot
           Version: 2022.11.1
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: P5
         Component: Other
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]
                CC: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---

At present, xscreensaver needs to be setuid root to read /etc/shadow to handle login verification for screen locking. By having xscreensaver check if linux-pam is enabled and adding --with-pam to ./configure, screen locking can be enabled without setuid.

Note: the relevant utility from linux-pam, unix_chkpwd *DOES* need to be setuid root
