No, I think this is a local PAM problem. Did you change anything in
/etc/pam.d?
I added a 'xscreensaver' file, which I copied from 'other'.  I did try a
few variations on that, but it should be enough.
	I found this problem too - a chmod +s /usr/pkg/bin/xscreensaver
made it work, but I had been hoping that pam would make this unnecessary.
no, pam needs the binary to run as root, otherwise it can't access master.passwd etc.  a pretty stupid design :/

cheers
