10.7: Unlock screens using any admin password
I apologize. I should have double checked a few things before submitting this.
1) all references to "/etc/authentication" should be changed to "/etc/authorization". 2) The instructions for sending in a hint recommend using both the webform as well as emailing the hint. The "raw" tags where the only way I could find to keep the "string" tag in the XML from being omitted when I submitted the hint via the webform. Here's a fixed version of the instructions: First, edit /etc/pam.d/screensaver as per the original Snow Leopard hint: Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app Type cd /etc/pam.dsudo cp screensaver screensaver.baksudo nano screensaverFind the line: account required pam_group.so no_warn group=admin,wheel fail_safeand change it to: account sufficient pam_group.so no_warn group=admin,wheel fail_safePress Control+X to save /etc/pam.d/screensaver and exit nano. Then, still in Terminal, we make a wholly unintuitive change to /etc/authorization: cd /etcsudo cp authorization authorization.baksudo nano authorizationPress Control+W and search for " unlock the screensaver"Change the line: <string>The owner or any administrator can unlock the screensaver.</string>to: <string>(Use SecurityAgent.) The owner or any administrator can unlock the screensaver.</string>Press Control+X to save /etc/authorization and exit nano. Reboot the Mac Sorry for the confusion!!!

OK, I've corrected the hint to match this. Thanks very much.

Thanks, awesome hint and totally bizarre that a comment string affects behavior?!
Also when I was testing this one liner version of your hint, I found I didn't need to apply the first modification from the previous hint?
Cheers! |
