[gentoo-user] dis-functional error from emerge -vuDN

[gentoo-user] dis-functional error from emerge -vuDN

[reader]

An error message I get while `emerge -vuDN world' (following a sync)
concerning sys-libs/pam doesn't give me enough information to cure
what ails it.

Even scanning through the update page:
  http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/pam/upgrade-0.99.xml

the error refers me to I end up not really seeing what needs to be
done. (full error at the end.  I've included massive outout of 
emerge --info for reference)

The error claims I am running:
 pam_pwdb, pam_radius, pam_timestamp, pam_console
but provides no clue as to how to remedy that condition.

Further, I'm striking out even determining that I am in fact doing
what that line claims.

Checking the output of equery files sys-libs/pam I see none that match
up to those module names. A grep -r using the part of those names
after the underscore like: 
  grep -r 'pwdb' /etc/security/

Produces no hits.  In fact there is not a single line in 
/etc/security/pam_env.conf that is not commented

I thought maybe it was a USE flag problem so looked at how the
existing pam was installed:

 USE="cracklib%* nls -audit% (-selinux) -test% -vim-syntax"

Unless cracklib is the culprit I don't see much there to inspire me.

I'm out of ideas as to where to look and the error doesn't give enough
information to guide me further.  There may be something in that
update page to help but its skipping right over my head.

It never really says where the code it presents is to be found but I'm
guessing it would be the files under /etc/security
all those files are commented out except  namespace.init that has this
line uncommented:
   exit 0
Maybe something needs to be uncommented in one of them.

/etc/security isn't the only place to look.  I use PAM on my mail server
and IMAP server, and I had to change some files in there that used the
old way.  Do you have a mail server that uses PAM?  Do you have a web
server that uses PAM?  Any other services?

Randy, I responded to this quite a while ago but do not see that
response here.. Looking locally I don't see a saved copy so I must
have closed the program I was writing from another desktop or
something. 

Thanks for your input but I don't think that was the problem.
I do run a local webserver (home lan) and run sendmail which isn't set
up as a server though.

Further, the output of  `equery files pam' only shows two places where
configs might be.  The update site referred to in the error message
doesn't tell where to look or if so I missed it

Anyway a grep in /etc/pam.d for any of the modules mentioned in the
error shows nothing but a few commented lines all in /etc/pam.d/login.
 
  grep -r 'pwdb\|radius\|timestamp\|console' 

# If you want to enable pam_console, uncomment the following line
# and read carefully README.pam_console in /usr/share/doc/pam*
# session    optional   pam_console.so

Now the good part:
`emerge -vC pam' followed by a continuing of 
`emerge -vuDPN world'

Seems to have gotten over the pam hurdle.
