Public bug reported:
When a NIS user locks the screen and then tries to unlock again,
pam_unix2.so cannot authenticate the user. Instead, new instances of
unix2_chkpwd are created recursively in an endless loop. This happens
because for NIS users to unlock the screen, unix2_chkpwd has to be
setuid root, setgid shadow is not sufficient. Please make unix2_chkpwd
setuid root again, like it once was.
