Hello,
I'm thinking of installing gentoo on server with Intel Extended Memory
64 Technology. Do I have to make something special in make.conf or to
use usual flags:

CXXFLAGS=-march=pentium4 -O3 -pipe
If this is better asked on gentoo-amd64, please let me know.
I am new to Gentoo, but have used GNU/Linux as the only operating
system whenever I have a choice (on workstations and servers) since
early 2001. Even then, this has me really stumped. Maybe someone can
offer some insight...

I definitely think it's ownership related. The problem is somewhere
between pam and udev, but i think it's more likely pam. I experienced a
very similar (if not the same) issue some time ago. When you start xdm,
it starts as root, and somehow, something sets very restrictive (600)
permissions
Yeah, that solved the problem, it seems that the mask 600 appear more
secure to xdm than 660 :) that and group permissions and it was all
working, thanks to all of you!!!
