Bug 223631 – sys-apps/shadow-4.1.2 uncomments lines in /etc/login.defs, causes warnings on login

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Mark Tiefenbruck 2008-05-26 01:49:18 UTC]

Upgrading shadow to 4.1.2 tries to install a new version of /etc/login.defs . When running etc-update, I checked the contents of the file, and it uncommented a lot of lines that said something along the lines of "(not valid with PAM)". I assumed this was no longer the case, so I allowed the update. Now on every login, I get the following list of warnings:

configuration error - unknown item 'FAILLOG_ENAB' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'LASTLOG_ENAB' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'MAIL_CHECK_ENAB' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'OBSCURE_CHECKS_ENAB' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'PORTTIME_CHECKS_ENAB' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'QUOTAS_ENAB' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'MOTD_FILE' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'FTMP_FILE' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'NOLOGINS_FILE' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'ENV_HZ' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'PASS_MIN_LEN' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'SU_WHEEL_ONLY' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'CRACKLIB_DICTPATH' (notify administrator)

configuration error - unknown item 'PASS_ALWAYS_WARN' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'CHFN_AUTH' (notify administrator)

Here's my emerge --info:
