Summary:                    screen locking does not work with LDAP user database
Description: 
xscreensaver 4-18 can\'t lock screen:

#xscreensaver
xscreensaver: couldn\'t get password of \"hellmund\"

It works for users with entries in passwd/shadow but not for users  in the
LDAP database. 
I think the reason is the missing PAM support. I compiled my own version
with ./configure --with-pam and it runs ok. 
(Of course, it then needs some entries in /etc/pam.config in order to work
properly. 
If this is a problem, perhaps an  additional version 
\"xscreensaver-pam\" would be a good idea.)  

I could use my own xscreensaver but pkg-get is so nice (and gnome has it as
a dependency).  


PS:
perhaps the reporter of bug#409 has a similar configuration?
