When I lock session , it won't accept my password (that is - it tells me it's wrong). I can not log in back.
Any ideas? I'm very sure that I enter the right password.
==============

This is what fixed it for me:

As root:

chown root.root `which kcheckpass`
chmod 4755 `which kcheckpass`

See:

opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa

kde-forum.org/post/55541/unl ... #post55541
ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-127566.html

================
chmod 4755 `which kcheckpass`
was all it took, or: chmod 4755 $(which kcheckpass)

This is a new one for me, I've never seen this before, using ls, this is the difference before and after:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11220 2008-07-13 15:29 /usr/bin/kcheckpass
run chmod 4755 $(which kcheckpass)
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 11220 2008-07-13 15:29 /usr/bin/kcheckpass

Note the rwx becomes rws
