PAM support was removed from lxde-base/lxdm-0.4.1 in version r2 because of an issue with testing for pam libraries in the configure step. See Gentoo bug 384615 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=384615 I have patched the configure.ac file based on the example provided in xdm, and I am supplying this patch as in an attachment as: lxdm-0.4.1-Fix-configure.ac-test-for-pam-libs.patch (Note: It doesn't look like attachments can be supplied in the initial report, I'll have to attach in a follow-up). Also, I thought it would make sense to add a 'pam' USE flag to the lxdm ebuild. Again, I followed the example used in xdm since it would make sense to keep these two ebuilds similar if practical. Here's a diff of my changes to the ebuild that I used: --- /usr/portage/lxde-base/lxdm/lxdm-0.4.1-r2.ebuild 2011-09-27 07:38:52.000000000 -0500 +++ /usr/local/portage/lxde-base/lxdm/lxdm-0.4.1-r2.ebuild 2011-12-08 15:43:52.000000000 -0600 @@ -14,14 +14,14 @@ SLOT="0" KEYWORDS="~amd64 ~x86" -IUSE="debug gtk3 nls" +IUSE="debug gtk3 nls pam" -RDEPEND="sys-libs/pam - sys-auth/consolekit +RDEPEND="sys-auth/consolekit x11-libs/libxcb gtk3?

Created attachment 295223 [details, diff] Patch configure.ac to test for pam Here's the patch I referenced when I opened this bug.
Thanks but I would like this patch to be reported upstream too. Could you do it? Fixed in 0.4.1-r3
