This will never work, becouse xscreensaver is running as 'you', and you
don't have the right to read /etc/shadow. (This would make it compeatly
useless - or require setuid screensavers - except that the is a small
setuid helper inside pam_unix that allows you to check your own password
only).

Look into the PAM configuration. You probably have pam_winbind specifed
only in one of the PAM files. Either also specifiy it in
/etc/pam.d/xscreensaver, or /etc/pam.d/system-auth.(which covers the
whole system, in the default configuration)
