I started a yum update this afternoon and there were lots of updates (182) so I presume it's the 4.5 update.
Now I can't unlock the session with my password!
Any ideas? (no caps lock is not on!) --

Maybe you need to <CTRL>-<ALT>-<F1> to tty1, login as root and reboot? I make a guess that something called by the lock manager when you try to unlock has changed and is incompatible with the lock manager that was already running. Since the running one is still the old version, it would need to find the old version of some component (a .so lib?) that may not have been in use, and therefore went away? Currently running instances will not be updated to new (and their image does not *really* evaporate) until the instance terminates and a new instance is invoked.
Pure theorization, but ...

Yes, it's the 4.5 update from what I can tell.

Same here. I needed to reboot. :(

Probably because of one or more of xorg-x11-xauth, xscreensaver, pam, or pam_ccreds, all of which were among the upgraded packages.
Still converting from Windows to Linux and had been feeling pretty good about finding files with slocate.
It was in Cent4.4 but is not in 5? Any good reason and is there a way to get it back?
If the answer is that I should be using some other tool I am ok with that as an answer.
Thanks.

It's been replaced by mlocate. No valid reason to roll back to slocate that I can see.
From the rpm package description of mlocate:
The 'm' stands for "merging": updatedb reuses the existing database to avoid rereading most of the file system, which makes updatedb faster and does not trash the system caches as much as traditional locate implementations.
