System name:		pit-manager
Type and version:	POWER 7.3P
Display type:		N/A

What were you trying to do?
	Make xscreensaver read the user's password out of
	/etc/security/passwd by making it setgid security.

What's wrong:
	The file /etc/security/passwd is not group-readable.

What should have happened:
	Whatever program is adding users to /etc/security/passwd
	should be making it group-readable, just like the
	/etc/security directory.
