After upgrding to pam-login-4.0.11-r1 and shadow-4.0.11.1 emerge function fails after su'ing to root. Emerge works OK when run from "source /etc/profile". Downgrading to shadow-4.0.7-r4 fixes problem. Same problem on two x86 boxes.

Switching back to the older version of shadow may have fixed the emerge problem, but I'm having others. I can only run programs in /usr/sbin and /usr/local/sbin as root by including the complete path. Programs run fine (i.e. just the command only) after running "source /etc/profile". I've decided to reinstall shadow-4.0.11.1 and run "source /etc/profile" until this gets strightened out.
Yes, I'm experiencing this too. Also for me, sourcing /etc/profile fixes it temporarily.
If I reinstall "both" the x86 released versions of pam-login and shadow then everything works fine/normal when su'ing to root.
Same problem here, after running 'emerge -uDN world' today the root's PATH was messed up; it was reset to /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin. I solved this by reverting to the previously installed versions of pam-login (3.17) and shadow (4.0.7-r4). I also downgraded baselayout to 1.11.13, but I don't know whether it affected anything (probably not :) )
do you guys `su` or `su -` ?
`su` here
`su` does not change your environment the proper method is `su -` ... see if that works
"su -" fixes the problem for me.
Ok... "su -" makes everything better. After 4 years of doing it "wrong" I guess I finally got caught. Seems like I would have picked up on that somewhere, sometime. If they would only put man pages in pill form. Sorry to bother you guys. Thanks!
This seems to affect also some init-scripts. For me, network initialisation does not work since yesterday. (dhcp works, static network configuration not).
Checked with upstream, adding SUPATH and PATH back for pam enabled builds is OK. Fixed in -r1.
Now SU segfaults.
yeah, see Bug 101282
