Re: [Bug 1393624] Re: Lock screen rejects password on Ubuntu 14.04

 

The correct output should be:
-rw-r----- 1 root shadow 2823 Jan 21 21:02 /etc/shadow

Please note that the group owner MUST be "shadow". Not sure why it got
changed during the update, for sure not a unity bug. Please try to change
the group owner of that file and try to lock/unlock again.
