HI, I am having a big problem with PAM, and as I can see on the Gentoo forums, others are experiencing the same problem (in login with GDM). I just installed a brand new 1.4rc1 Gentoo system today (Tue Oct 21), and when I try to get my mail, the server gives me the following error in the logs (with pop and imap): Oct 22 00:52:15 srv01 imapd[26600]: port 143 service init from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Oct 22 00:52:18 srv01 imapd[26600]: PAM unable to dlopen(/lib/security/pam_nologin.so) Oct 22 00:52:18 srv01 imapd[26600]: PAM [dlerror: /lib/security/pam_nologin.so: undefined symbol: pam_get_item] Oct 22 00:52:18 srv01 imapd[26600]: PAM adding faulty module: /lib/security/pam_nologin.so Oct 22 00:52:18 srv01 imapd[26600]: PAM unable to dlopen(/lib/security/pam_stack.so) Oct 22 00:52:18 srv01 imapd[26600]: PAM [dlerror: /lib/security/pam_stack.so: undefined symbol: _pam_make_env] Oct 22 00:52:18 srv01 imapd[26600]: PAM adding faulty module: /lib/security/pam_stack.so Oct 22 00:52:21 srv01 imapd[26600]: AUTHENTICATE LOGIN failure host=linuxsta.lphp.local [192.168.0.4] Oct 22 00:52:21 srv01 imapd[26600]: PAM unable to dlopen(/lib/security/pam_nologin.so) Oct 22 00:52:21 srv01 imapd[26600]: PAM [dlerror: /lib/security/pam_nologin.so: undefined symbol: pam_get_item] Oct 22 00:52:21 srv01 imapd[26600]: PAM adding faulty module: /lib/security/pam_nologin.so Oct 22 00:52:21 srv01 imapd[26600]: PAM unable to dlopen(/lib/security/pam_stack.so) Oct 22 00:52:21 srv01 imapd[26600]: PAM [dlerror: /lib/security/pam_stack.so: undefined symbol: _pam_make_env] Oct 22 00:52:21 srv01 imapd[26600]: PAM adding faulty module: /lib/security/pam_stack.so I know other people are having the same problem under GDM, they just can not connect and get the following error: (see this topic: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=19176&highlight=gdm+pam) [gdm] PAM unable to dlopen(/lib/security/pam_stack.so) [gdm] PAM [dlerror: /lib/security/pam_stack.so: undefined symbol: _pam_make_evn] [gdm] PAM adding faulty module: /lib/security/pam_stack.so ...... [gdm] Couldn't authenticate user This is a very blocking bug, especially under server environment. Thanks in advance for looking at it (fast ;-) )...
sounds lie you've got old pam libs laying around. have you tried rm -rf /lib/security and remerging pam?

rm -Rf /lib/security/* and re-emerging PAM didn't help...
