Rhm, I thought I fixed this issue in this sys. Take a look at /etc/pam.d
there must be three files useradd groupadd and shadow, both with the
same content.
Arg I took a quick look and found a typing bug. rename userpadd to
useradd. :/

Sorry for the inconvenience this sys is a snapshot release.

This syslog thing sounds realy strange, I will take a look at it later
(4:30am here).
Maybe remerging gluelog/daemontools (both in sys-apps) solves this
problem.
If you don't speak polis you should also remerge the man package in
sys-apps.
