Upon emerging shadow-4.1.2, I began getting this strange list of errors: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_CHANGE_TRIES' (notify administrator) configuration error - unknown item 'PASS_ALWAYS_WARN' (notify administrator) configuration error - unknown item 'CHFN_AUTH' (notify administrator) configuration error - unknown item 'ENVIRON_FILE' (notify administrator) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge shadow-4.1.2 2. login 3. the above errors fly past, then the password prompt comes up. Actual Results: The above errors show up after I type in my user name. When this began, I looked at /var/log/portage/elog/sys-apps:shadow-4.1.2:20080526-082959.log. It contained the following: WARN: postinst Running 'grpck' returned errors. Please run it by hand, and then run 'grpconv' afterwards! running grpck brings the following: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_CHANGE_TRIES' (notify administrator) configuration error - unknown item 'PASS_ALWAYS_WARN' (notify administrator) configuration error - unknown item 'CHFN_AUTH' (notify administrator) configuration error - unknown item 'ENVIRON_FILE' (notify administrator) group users: no user games delete member 'games'? Once I noted that these errors were the same as those above, I downgraded to shadow-4.1.1 to see if the errors went away. They did Expected Results: I expected no errors This happened on all my systems. Since I troubleshot it on this system, I will post its emerge --info: pappy-lap ~ # emerge --info Portage 2.1.5.2 (default-linux/x86/2007.0, gcc-4.2.3, glibc-2.7-r2, 2.6.22.19 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.22.19 i686 Intel(R) Celeron(R) M CPU 440 @ 1.86GHz Timestamp of tree: Mon, 26 May 2008 07:52:01 +0000 distcc 2.18.3 i486-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [enabled] ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p39 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.1.4 dev-lang/python: 2.5.2-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.12 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.1-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.25-r3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" CBUILD="i486-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="i486-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="ccache distcc distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="" LINGUAS="en" MAKEOPTS="-j256" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac acl alsa ao audiofile avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cairo cdr cli cracklib crypt css cups dbus dlloader dri dts dv dvd dvdr dvdread eds encode esd fam fbcon ffmpeg fftw firefox flac foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gimp gpm gsl gstreamer gtk hal iconv ipv6 isdnlog jack jpeg kde kdexdeltas kdgraphics ladspa lame ldap libg++ libsamplerate live mad midi mikmod mp3 mpeg mudflap nas ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg opengl openmp oss pam pcre pdcre pdf pdflib perl php png ppds pppd python qt3 quicktime readline reflection samba sdl session slang slp sndfile spell spl sse2 ssl swat tcpd theora tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode usb vidix vorbis wifi win32codecs wxwindows x264 x86 xine xml xorg xscreensaver xv zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1 emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse synaptics" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="i810" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
