Hi,I'm running Gentoo. As part of an unrelated package upgrade, PAM got upgraded. Ever since, or sometime afterward, anything requiring a username and password fails. My POP3 server fails, I can't even log in as root! If Itry to log in at the console, it takes the username, which can be a real or a non-existent user, and doesn't ask for apassword, but instead waits three seconds or whatever, and tells me the login is incorrect. Thank Goodness, I do have exactly one console window logged in as Root, so I'm not totally locked out. I had upgraded PAM in the recent past. Could it be that I need a reboot? Only reason I don't do this is...
Maybe you need to update a configuration file. Did you run dispatch-conf or etc-update after the emerge? I'd advice against using etc-update and would use dispatch-conf, by the way. They both come with portage.
My ISP blocks port 25, so I have to manually run a redirector program to forward another port to port 25 on my Linux system. I don't know how to get this to run automatically at startup, easily. And wouldn't you know it, I have a Mailman list going which I really don't need to have down, as it'spretty important. So, if I reboot and am still locked out, then I'm screwed.
You can put custom bash-scripts into /etc/local.start . They will execute after the last "normal" init-script.
