I added a 'xscreensaver' file, which I copied from 'other'.  I did try a
few variations on that, but it should be enough.

If it helps, this is my test scenario:

cd /usr/pkgsrc/x11/xscreensaver
bmake PKG_OPTIONS.xscreensaver=pam install
cp /etc/pam.d/other /etc/pam.d/xscreensaver
xscreensaver -verbose &
xscreensaver-command -lock
(can't unlock)
(ssh in from other computer, 'kill pid-of-xscreensaver')

The xterm where the xscreensaver -verbose command was issues will have a
number of diagnostic messages, including what I pasted in a previous
message.
