[NTLUG:Discuss] Xscreensaver problem

All,

I am having issues with xscreensaver and it's driving me nuts.  Here are
the system particulars:

Suse 8.2
kernel 2.4.20-4GB
Ximian Desktop 2
Xscreensaver 4.09

As you can see from the list above, I run Ximian Desktop 2 - I was just
used to it so I kept using it when I switched to Suse.  When I click on
the xscreensaver button to lock the desktop, it does not recognize my
password when I attempt to unlock the desktop.

As you can guess, this gives me all sorts of fits.  The following errors
show up in the log:

xscreensaver: PAM unable to dlopen(/lib/security/pam_stack.so)
xscreensaver: PAM [dlerror: /lib/security/pam_stack.so: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory]
xscreensaver: PAM adding faulty module: /lib/security/pam_stack.so

I have tried going out and grabbing pam_stack.so off the 'net and trying
it but after placing the library in the correct location no luck.  

Has anyone else had this problem and if you were able to fix it, what
did you do?  I've googled for this and can't find any useful, helpful
answers.

Thanks,
Alton Pouncey
