pam-login blocks shadow

Exactly my thinking. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135431

However, I don't think this will go into 2.1, but maybe 2.2.

Ok, so bottom line is that pam-login should be removed and let shadow emerged normally and pam-login won't be necessary anymore ?

emerge -vaC pam-login
emerge -vuaNt world (which will safely emerge 'shadow')

That would be THE move ?

If you want to have a broken (not loggable) system the shortest time, "emerge -1 shadow" before your emerge world. Who knows when a power outage can happen.

As a side note don't do this using sudo unless you want to lock yourself out of your server...so much for telecommuting today.

Hi together,

i've done a mistake.

Yesterday i wanted to emerge -uDe world and got the errormessage about the conflicts with pam-login and shadow.
I just emerge -C pam-login and then started the emerge -uDe world.

So long no problems.

The build process seems to nedd very long and i thought that i reboot my system.......
Shit happens. Now i can't login to my box.

I hope i can reinstall pam-login when i boot from the livecd and chroot.
Have someone else did the same mistake and get the system up runing?

Thanks for some tips ;-)

Daniel

I did as the forum suggested and removed pam-login and installed shadow with '-1'. Now only root can login. All other users get '/bin/bash: Permissionn denied'. Any ideas?

ftp.pld.org.pl has apparently incremented versions without leaving the 4.0.15 around. There is a shadow-4.0.16.ebuild by uberlord, but it is masked as a testing version.

Hello all,
I'm a bit lost here...

I have successfully unmerged "pam-login", but I still can't get "sys-apps/shadow" to merge without failing!
I tried the original suggestion:

Well, it seem's as though I'm a few steps closer to solving my own problem :roll:

...
Now whether this has anything to do with the current issue of scrutiny I have yet to confirm

So, what I am getting at is, after trying a few different things I was able to pinpoint two consistencies; The first became evident rather quickly, because shortly after I would begin emerging anything the process would abruptly come to a screeching halt. The second I noticed later, which was a few lines above my error which I had posted before this post, it read:

Hi.
Hope my problem with pam-login and shadow hasn't been discussed here before. I just scimmed over the thread.
I unmerged pam-login and merged shadow (without --nodeps or --oneshot) to make a `glsa-check -f new' possible which failed with pam-login installed.
Now, I can't switch to root privileges using `su -' on console. I get an "authentification error" feedback. Any ideas to fix this?

Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
rey.

The Gentoo weekly newsletter provided also some information.

The developer who merged pam-login and shadow explained why the packages conflicted and what needs to be done.

Just my two cents. the recommended fix worked great and portage likes me again. I love this forum.

Man I got bit by this last night (drunk of course) and threw a temper tantrum. Luckily I was able to ssh into the box and start KDM. I was able to login via KDM at least. However my tantrum ended up destroying my office chair and a wall clock as well as scaring the hell out of my dog!

Hi everybody,
I unmerged pam-login in order to update world, so now I have a no-login system, as describe here.

I mean I can't anymore logging in into my system with any user (even root can't).

I searched into the forum for a solution, and all posts link to this thread, so let me know if I understand the solutions you suggest on these 3 post's pages. I will summarize them as follow:

Solution n.1:

In your solution number 2, it is difficult for me to read your command. I assume that in the portion that states emerge -1 shadow you are using the number one (-1) and not the letter l (-l).

I just used that full command you list in solution number 2 successfully. Beware -- there are 17 configuration files to update. I use dispatch-conf with color coding -- very clear.

Sorry, I mistook writing the post. Anyway

Pat-rizio

You're right. Just as #2 indicates, I unmerged pam-login and emerged shadow as one command.

Sorry, I guess I have no answer for you.
