>Description:
gnome-screensaver with Gnome 2.16 doesn't accept correct passwords.  It
doesn't appear to be able to actually interface with PAM properly, from
the error I'm seeing in my /var/log/messages file:

Sep 30 15:43:38 arcusv gnome-screensaver-dialog: in _openpam_check_error_code(): pam_sm_authenticate(): unexpected return value 27

I can see that /usr/pkg/libexec/gnome-screensaver-dialog has been set UID,
per the email I found here:

http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-users/2006/04/30/0001.html

So perhaps there's some new quirks about the 2.16 release.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install gnome-screensaver with Gnome 2.16.
Wait for it to activate.
Try entering your password.
