Dear Maintainer,

Every time the screen locks, I get PAM errors in the journal in red (priority 3):

kscreenlocker_greet[297707]: PAM unable to dlopen(pam_sss.so): /usr/lib/security/pam_sss.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
kscreenlocker_greet[297707]: PAM adding faulty module: pam_sss.so

Based on this bug report https://bugs.gentoo.org/927032 I tried copying
/usr/lib/pam.d/kde-smartcard to /etc/pam.d/ and adding - in front of line #5 so
instead of:

auth    required        pam_sss.so allow_missing_name try_cert_auth

it reads:
