4 If xlockmore is built with the "pam" option:
5 In order to make unlocking work, you need to add an
6 xlock file to your pam configuration directory (usually
7 /etc/pam.d). You can find a sample file in:
8 ${EGDIR}/pam.d/xlock-NetBSD
9 On NetBSD, the "pam_pwauth_suid.so" module can be used to authenticate
10 against a shadow password database. Note that use of this module might
11 allow programs with your privileges to get a copy of your plaintext
12 password as typed in for unlocking. The advantage is that with that
13 module, the suid bit of the
15 executable can be removed.
16 Per default, xlockmore is installed setuid root. Since this is a
17 relatively complex program, there is the risk of other exploits.
