Unless you have some amazing recovery tools to had (most people don't) |
| 14 |
you can't easily recover those files. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
pam.d isn't put there by a single package, everything that uses pam is |
| 17 |
liable to write it's own custom file there. You can regain your ability |
| 18 |
to log in by remerging these packages: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
sys-apps/shadow |
| 21 |
sys-auth/pambase |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
To do that, you will need to boot off a livecd and chroot. Then a |
| 24 |
reboot should see you fine. Then you could rememrge everything that has |
| 25 |
pam in USE and hope this is enough. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Or, you could restore from backups. You *do* have backups of /etc, |
| 28 |
right? |
