System: NetBSD city-art.mcs.vuw.ac.nz 1.5Y NetBSD 1.5Y (MCS_WORKSTATION) #1: Tue Oct 30 22:54:21 NZDT 2001 mark@turakirae.mcs.vuw.ac.nz:/src/work/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/MCS_WORKSTATION i386

>Description:
	With the latest kdebase2 package the screenlocking fails to unlock
	when a password is supplied.
	The following appears on stderr:

	kdesktop: kcheckpass failed to start

This is because kcheckpass is now installed mode 4711 and kdesktop calls
'locate("exe", "kcheckpass")' to find the path for kcheckpass and 'locate'
(in kdelibs2: kdecore/kstddirs.cpp) calls 'KStandardDirs::exists()' which
calls 'access(QFile::encodeName(fullPath), R_OK) == 0' which now fails.

>How-To-Repeat:
	build/install kdebase2 package
	run kde2
	lock the screen
	try to unlock

>Fix:
	Short term: install kcheckpass mode 4755
	Longer term: fix locate et al to not require executables to be
		readable.
