This should not be the result of PAM.  PAM is only used to check your
password during "sfskey register".  What OS and version are you
running?  This is most likely a bug in the OS or in the application
you are using.  For example the MacOS finder has a bug where it will
not allow you into directories that the OS will, in fact, allow you
into if you use a shell.

If you are using a Mac, there is an experimental workaround for the
problem in the latest version of SFS (from the CVS repository).  Edit
/usr/local/share/sfs/sfscd_config, and change the line:

  Program 344444.3 sfsrwcd

to:

  Program 344444.3 sfsrwcd -u unknown

If you are using a Mac, then try this.  Otherwise, let us know more
precisely what the problem is--what OS, application, and error
message.
