I've traced the bug in the pam_unix2.so module.

The call to getspnam_r() in pam_sm_authenticate() (file unix_auth.c:280) sets errno to 13 (EACCESS) when called from gnome-screensaver.
A normal login does return the entry in you shadow file.

I've not enough experience with pam and the system interna to trace the bug further at the moment, so could someone enlighten me or find a solution for this bug?

Is this in some way related to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=370847 ?
