Check the following: - you have root:auth mode rwxr-sr-x set for /usr/X11R6/bin/xlock; - you do NOT have nosuid option set for /usr/X11R6. -- WBR, Vadim Zhukov

I have similar issue when using another layout (in my case ir) and lock my system without changing back layout.

They basically should be (according to /etc/mtree/special): -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2770 Jan 14 2016 /etc/login.conf -rw--- 1 root wheel 10350 Jul 12 17:25 /etc/master.passwd -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 8522 Jul 12 16:42 /etc/passwd drwxr-x--- 2 root auth 512 Jul 3 17:49 /usr/libexec/auth/ Most likely you have /etc/login.conf non-world-readable... If this won't help, you'll probably need to use ktrace to find out the problematic syscall. -- WBR, Vadim Zhukov
