OK, after remerging pam, I get the same for unix_chkpwd (tho here I have 
sbin merge so it's /bin/unix_chkpwd with sbin -> bin), so indeed, it must 
have been the same problem for you with it, that I've simply not run into 
since whatever killed the filecaps here, because I don't use the 
lockscreen.

But if I start using the lockscreen again and it fails, I know one not-so-
intuitive thing to check, now. =:^)
