I got this when switching the user. Any advice would help.
Thanks,

I've run etc-update after my last emerge --sync and world update but I still 
get "configuration error - unknown item 'PASS_MIN_LEN' (notify 
administrator)" when I su or log in as Root. Anybody got any ideas on how I 
can fix this. Thanks, Richard

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131097

The problem is in /etc/login.defs.
Here is a workaround

# AJG: Comment the following line.
# See bug 131097.  I just added a new group and user, which triggers this.
# PASS_MIN_LEN 5

As my comment says, it is triggered by using the gnome tool to add a
new user and group.
