Default xscreensaver problem

This has happened to me before, and yet, i haven't found a way to solve this, but reinstall system (i didn't do this to fix this problem)

Code:
$ xscreensaver
Could not figure out who the current user is!
This error occurs after i dump and restore system (not at 1st, but at some 3rd, 4th time this happens)

When i run xscreensaver-command demo i get something like this:

Code:
Warning:

The XScreenSaver daemon doesn't seam to be running on display ":0.0". Launch it now?"
After i press OK, i get
Code:
Error:

The xscreensaver daemon did  not start property.
Please check your $PATH and permissions
xscreensaver version 5.06

Code:
# uname -a
FreeBSD killasmurf.HomePC 7.0-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p3 #1: Sat Aug  2 00:45:09 EEST 2008     killasmurf@killasmurf.HomePC:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/killabsd  i386
Code:
# ls -l /usr/local/bin/xscreensaver                                            
-rwsr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  205572 Aug 11 23:47 /usr/local/bin/xscreensaver
# ls -l /usr/local/bin/xscreensaver-command                                          
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  17740 Aug 11 23:47 /usr/local/bin/xscreensaver-command

any ideas how to fix it?
