When I lock my screen with xscreensaver, it flashes the "Authentication failed" dialog as soon as the fade to black is complete. From there, any time I move the mouse or press a key, it brings up the same dialog without ever prompting for a password. Downgrading to -r1 didn't have any effect.

Post relavent lines from '/var/log/messages' and 'xscreensaver -verbose' when this is happening, also output of 'emerge -pv pam'. Thanks.
FWIW, I've seen this when the /etc/pam.d/xscreensaver file had not gotten installed.
/var/log/messages held the key; /lib/security/pam_unix.so was mode 000. I don't know why, but for some reason, during this install (this is a fresh install) a bunch of apparently random files in /bin wound up with mode 000. I thought I had gotten them all; apparently I was wrong. Sorry for wasting your time.
