kscreenlocker authentication failure

[tnorris]

I thought I would post this in case anyone else had problems. My KDE screen saver would intermittently fail to unlock even though I knew I was typing the right password. The solution was for some reason kcheckpass had lost it's setuid bit. To fix it:

sudo chown root:root /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kcheckpass
sudo chmod 4755 /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kcheckpass

Might help someone else.

As you said intermittently, I will check this command for about a week and will come here and write if the problem still exists for me.
Thanks for the tip
