similar to: screen locking - pam and xscreensaver

Hi I have a Linux client running XFCE and authenticating against Samba 4. When trying to return to the session after xscreensaver has kicked in, authentication fails. /etc/pam.d/xscreensaver #%PAM-1.0 auth include common-auth account include common-account password include common-password session include common-session /etc/pam.d/common-password #%PAM-1.0

The people at Debian were chuntering that it'd be a good idea for xscreensaver to ask ssh-add to drop its keys when it blanked the screen. Would the attached script (which does just that) be worth adding to the contrib directory? It would also be useful to give ssh-agent a facility to drop its keys after some time of inactivity. How easy would this be to implement? Thanks, Andrew

I was wondering if anyone has written a screensaver for Win95/98 that is password protected based on the current user, who has already been authenticated through Samba. So that if a user forgets to log out of the machine the screen saver comes on and can only be disabled by the user
