    I have a linux box that authenticates users off an LDAP server. I'm
    able to log in to the box, but if I lock the screen, and try to unlock
    it, it fails everytime. The entry in /var/log/secure shows:

    Aug 31 11:47:24 valine xscreensaver[21063]: FAILED LOGIN 1 ON DISPLAY
    ":0.0", FOR "golharam"
    Aug 31 11:47:28 valine xscreensaver[21063]: FAILED LOGIN 2 ON DISPLAY
    ":0.0", FOR "golharam"
    Aug 31 11:47:46 valine xscreensaver[21063]: FAILED LOGIN 3 ON DISPLAY
    ":0.0", FOR "golharam"
    Aug 31 11:48:16 valine xscreensaver[21063]: FAILED LOGIN 4 ON DISPLAY
    ":0.0", FOR "golharam"

    One for each try. The only way to unlock the screen saver is to kill it
    from another console. Why am I unable to unlock the screen?
