>Description:
With "PKG_OPTIONS.xlockmore+=pam" in /etc/mk.conf, the resulting
xlock program considers all unlock attempts as failed whether using the
user's password or the root password.

Should there be a pam configuration file for 'xlock'?  Is it intended
to use one of the existing pam configurations--"system" perhaps?  I saw
no errors logged anywhere when xlock engaged.
>How-To-Repeat:
Set "PKG_OPTIONS.xlockmore+=pam" in /etc/mk.conf and build/install
"x11/xlockmore".

Run 'xlock' to lock the screen.

Screen cannot be unlocked via password.  On architectures that support
it, switch to text-mode terminal, log in and kill xlock.
>Fix:
Workaround.  Do not enable the "pam" option when building x11/xlockmore.
