You need to emerge *EITHER* pam *OR* shadow. You can't emerge bothe, because they provide the same service. I prefer to run without pam, because "everything you know is wrong" when it comes to config files all over the place. You end up using entirely several different config files to control access. If you already know and are comfortable with pam, fine, go ahead and use it. You probably do *NOT* want to combine the learning curve of pam with the learning curve of Gentoo at the same time. -- Walter Dnes In linux /sbin/init is Job #1 My musings on technology and security at http://tech_sec.blog.ca -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
