suckless-tools (41-1) unstable; urgency=medium The slock screen locker has been patched in Debian and is now using PAM for authentication, instead of reading the shadow file. This means that slock can authenticate the user using some other mechanism for login (i.e., NIS passwords, fingerprint readers, etc). In addition, we avoid installing slock with setuid-root or setgid-shadow permissions. -- Ilias Tsitsimpis Thu, 15 Oct 2015 11:45:14 +0300
