[gentoo-user] weird error messages

Hi,
 When I logged into my box just now I received the following error messages:



npt@jaguar ~ $ su
Password:
configuration error - unknown item 'FAILLOG_ENAB' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'LASTLOG_ENAB' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'MOTD_FILE' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'FTMP_FILE' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'ENV_ROOTPATH' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'PASS_MIN_LEN' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'CHFN_AUTH' (notify administrator)
jaguar npt #


Can someone tell me what I messed up, and possibly how to fix it? I have
been emerging a lot of stuff and doing all sorts of stuff to my box for the
last few days and I really don't know what this relates to. Thanks for any
help.

Nick

It sounds like either bash or baselayout was upgraded recently. Login
as root and run etc-update, merge your configuraation changes
appropriately, and you should be good to go.

HTH-
