  A quick-n-dirty solution is to comment out every line in...
/etc/security/console.perms

  A more permanent correction is to get rid of PAM entirely.  Note that
if you're used to running under PAM, running without it turns into an
"everything you know is wrong" scenario.  Many security&authentication
settings will be handled by different files.  If you're used to running
under shadow (i.e. *NOT* PAM) then running under PAM will be an
"everything you know is wrong" scenario.

  If you don't know what PAM is, and you've only recently installed
Gentoo, you might want to consider removing PAM.  This has to be done
verrrry carefully.  http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Remove_PAM has the
instructions for doing so.
