Just an FYI for all you Gentoo users updating older machines, sys-apps/shadow-4.0.12 now provides the same /bin/login that sys-apps/pam-login provides. As a result, they've been flagged to block each other. If you're having trouble updating your system because of this blocker you should unmerge pam-login and update shadow. Be sure that you update shadow before restarting though or you won't be able to login!
