Hi, I often ran into problems after this. Dunno what dispatch-conf does. I useed to run etc-update ... and the problems begin. Have a look if the files in /etc/pam.d where replaced by some gentoo defaults. BTW: I choose to never run these silly update scripts. Now I look run etc-update only to see where gentoo placed replacements and cancel. Then having a look what will change and do this (if required) by hand.
