FWIW I switched pam_unix2 to pam_unix as was suggested in some ML and it's all fine now.

No, it's not. It's only working for you in this special case with a local account or maybe NIS, but not in general. Applications doing password verification with PAM needs root privilegs, this is a hard requirement of the PAM specification. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
