screensaver login password failed with correct password
Hi,
since last time I
cp /etc/passwd passwd.old
Later used vipw deleted one un-existed user entry.
I thought something wrong, so I
mv passwd,old passwd back.
Anyway, later I use vipw again deleted that entry.
But the problem showed up:
for user lina,
I can login, no problem,
but once the screensaver (xfce4) worked, the password not worked anymore.
use Alt+Ctr+F1 login as lina works.
part of the /var/log/auth.log as following:

I couldn't find the libpam-foreground package.
The only way I can do is that in the screensaver parts, reboot.
I also did some update recently, don't know which parts went wrong,
Thanks ahead for any suggestions,
Best regards,
