Hello, After a long time I just revisited my bug report for libpam-unix2 and the following discussion.
> If you'd like to help, please run the changes by the current PAM > policy maintainer Sam Hartman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, and also > upstream, Thorsten Kukuk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - I'm curious if SuSE has > this bug with pam_unix2 also and if they solved it differently? I just sent the changes to Sam Hartman _ I hope that he is still the PAM policy maintainer. SuSE does not have this problem with pam_unix2 as all mentioned screensaver programs (with exception of xscreensaver) are setuid root. For xscreensaver, setuid root does not help, so SuSE uses a hack so that xscreensaver calls the helper binary unix2_chkpwd. In Debian, the screensaver programs are not setuid root, because the normal authentication module pam_unix uses a helper binary unix_chkpwd that is setuid root.
