Now that you mention it, yes, I can't get this to happen on the other
machines.
But I think there might be something else going on with this machine. I
was playing around with the ldap configuration and now when I log in at
a console, 'id' can't resolve UIDs or GIDs.
I think I might have screwed something up on it....I'll just rebuild
it...thank god for kickstart...

Is it only one machine where this happens?
/etc/pam.d/xscreensaver should look like this:
#%PAM-1.0
# Red Hat says this is right for them, as of 7.3:
auth required pam_stack.so service=system-auth
# This is what we were using before:
# auth required pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok

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?
