Hey guys,

Why is in /etc a passwd and a passwd-
               a shadow and a shadow-
               a group	and a group-

it theems that each pair is equal... gentoo uses pam for authentifiction, or
what?

And which is the normal why in gentoo to add a user? And why su don't work
for a user which was added with the KDE-UserManager?

A beginnes question i think... but at the moment i have no idea,

thanks,

sebastian
