Uff,

... all went well :oD

I've re-emerged shadow, logged out and logged in and even rebooted the
system and (otherwise I wouldn't be able to send this post) all is
living again.

Thank you guys for the hints and for this system (:oD)

PS: Just a minor issue: Is there a way to use "normal" SysV booting on
Gentoo? What I mean is the booting style with the [0-9][0-9]something
in /etc/[init.d/]rc[0-9] what usuelly are links to /etc/init.d instead
of this simpleinit (?) style booting?
Xcuse me, I'm mostly working on AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, Dynix and Tru64, so
the Gentoo boot style is an annoying one for me. .. I'm not saying that
it is a bad one with this stating ;o)
I started on Linux with Slackware. They use BSD style booting. THERE it
was easy to replace this. How on Gentoo?
