I agree sudo chown root:shadow /etc/shadow solves the session lock
problem. In my earalier post was thinking in the crash of konkeror while
renaming files which I just reported. I wonder however if the
root:shadow ownership of /etc/shadows creates any wulnerabilities since
/etc/shadows is very critical for security.
