Pam and Shadow did show installed. Pam also showing in the USE flag. |
| 31 |
Isn't that one a default one? |
| 32 |
Anyway, added it manually as well to make.conf. |

Even though Shadow was in place, based on your message, I removed and |
| 35 |
added shadow again and am now able to log in. |
| 36 |
Still not sure what happened, but it is working. |

Thanks again, |
