That's why we have a gentoo-user mailing list instead ;-)
This mailing list is often noted out in the wild as a very high
signal-to-noise ratio list, in my experience that is definitely true.
The popular forum answer of "my granny's dog's owner once ran this
command and it seemed to fix her green screen so give it a try and see
if it repairs your password" just does not ever get proposed here :-)
