For sure there is no user named auth on my machines, so something must be |
| 18 |
wrong somewhere. Just for fun I ran "emerge -p /etc/pam.d/ and got this: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
#emerge -p /etc/pam.d/ |
| 21 |
|

These are the packages that would be merged, in order: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Calculating dependencies... done! |
| 25 |
[ebuild R ] sys-auth/pambase-20120417-r1 |
| 26 |
[ebuild R ] sys-apps/shadow-4.1.5.1-r1 |
| 27 |
[ebuild R ] net-mail/mailbase-1.1 |
| 28 |
[ebuild R ] app-admin/sudo-1.8.6_p6 |
| 29 |
[ebuild R ] sys-auth/polkit-0.110 |

[ebuild R ] sys-apps/openrc-0.11.8 |
| 31 |
[ebuild R ] net-print/cups-1.6.1 |

[ebuild R ] net-fs/samba-3.6.12 |

I mention this mostly because I learned very recently that emerge will |
| 36 |
accept a directory name and rebuild all of the packages that install |
| 37 |
files there. Maybe it won't help you but I'm looking for any excuse |
| 38 |
to use that new trick :) (Some wise gentooer posted that revelation |
| 39 |
here in the last month or so and I can't recall who it was, sorry.) |
