Hi Guys,

Long time reader, first time poster!

I found this thread which applies to the xbox. Effectively, the master lock promts me for a pin when the system is left on the login screen long enough for the screensaver to activate.

Just wondering if anyone knows if the same applies to Linux.

I have two profiles, Master User and a Generic Account (generic has less sources than the Master User) and my Login Screen and Master Lock is enabled. XBMC starts automaticaly when ubuntu boots, so, often, by the time I choose which profile to login to from the xbmc login screen, the screensaver has already activated. Only Master user has a pin, the generic account has no pin and can be accessed immediately as long as I dont let the screensaver activate on the login screen.

* XBMC 9.1-RC1 R25756 (Compiled: Dec 17 2009)
* Confluence
* Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.1 x86
* Installed via apt-get

At the login screen you are running as the master user, thus the reason this occurs.

We'd have to special-case this I guess, which I think makes sense in this scenario. Please post a feature request on trac and cc me.

Cheers,
Jonathan

Thanks for your help Jonathan
