Yeah. It is my feeling too that pam may be a problem. I've been 
comparing the system files against my other gentoo machine and they are 
just the same. However the fact that motd appears twice even when I 
login as root continues to puzzle me. I've checked all user accounts and 
only 3 out of 37 accounts have the login/su problem. I will create some 
new accounts and see what happens.

Thanks,
