Hi Andreas, did you find out more about this issue? Just to clarify a few things:
> pwnam: couldn't get password of "loginname" This is a normal condition if PAM is used, therefore this message is only printed in verbose mode, and is likely not important here. > xscreensaver-auth exited with signal 6 Signal 6 is SIGABRT and this is likely xscreensaver-auth calling abort(). I would guess it happens in xscreensaver_auth_conv() due to an unexpected condition. Would you be able to debug this function a bit closer? If rebuilding, it would be nice if you could try 6.08 from unstable also, it should build fine on stable without any changes. Not so many use NIS nowadays, I suspect the issue is related to the use of NIS through PAM. Regards, Tormod
