    Ever since I've been using Solaris 10 on client machines, the screen lock
    will require the root password to recover the session. Is this happening
    elsewhere as well? I've done basic installs for a few desktop users. When
    xscreensaver comes on, it will lock the screen, requiring the root
    password to recover the session. I've googled around and searched through
    patches and see nothing that talks about this... Anyone else having this
    issue? I thought it was some sort of known bug but still can't figure any
    solution out, other than disabling xscreensaver completely.

    thanks
