RE: Unable to unlock xscreensaver

I know system-auth is using LDAP (or else users wouldn't be able to log
in in the first place).

How can I get xscreensaver to use system-auth?

Actually, /etc/pam.d/xscreensaver should be referring to system-auth
which should be looking for ldap.

Did you edit /etc/pam.d/xscreensaver so that it looks to LDAP for
authentication?
