Re: XScreenSaver and bsdauth

I believe it should be setgid auth (mode 2755 or 2555).

Hi,

I'm trying to make a patch to XScreenSaver to support bsdauth (hopefully

to have it upstream).

So far so good but at one point I'm calling auth_userokay(3) and I

always get the following error:

xscreensaver-auth: /usr/libexec/auth/login_passwd: Permission denied

AFAIU, this call to auth_userokay(3) is done from the

'xscreensaver-auth' executable which was forked from the 'xscreensaver'

executable.  I have tried many combination of ownership and setuid bit

on both 'xscreensaver' and 'xscreensaver-auth' but I always end up with

this same error message.  Do you have any idea?
