There is a similiar issue with xlock.  I am not sure if they are 100% related,
but I was looking at a pam issue in relation to accesing the shadow file.  The
xlock issue is that pwdb_chkpwd cannot find the password (cannot access the
shadow file ?).  I have not found anything concrete yet.

Do you have a shell set in /etc/passwd?

Added /bin/bash to the users line in /etc/passwd.Everything works correctly for me now.Pieter Van den Abeele
