Here are the three processes spawned by 'xscreensaver -L +icon' in netbsd.
root 262 0.0 3.8 156 612 p1 I 2:31PM 0:00.04 xscreensaver
root 263 0.0 1.0 324 156 p1 I 2:31PM 0:00.08 sh -c zaway
root 264 0.0 2.3 112 372 p1 I 2:31PM 0:00.10 zaway
I don't know the problem, but this is different from Linux' xscreensaver.
Under Linux
1) xscreensaver has username instead of root. I understand that it does
setuid in netBSD in order to read the shadowed passwd. but maybe this is
causing problems?
2) 'sh -c zaway' doesn't appear under Linux, zaway is executed alone by
xscreensaver.
