Hi,

This week I installed a new gentoo system. All works lika charm, but I have a small problem.

I could user usermod perfectly before my emerge of gnome.
I emerged gnome with the following flags: "-qt -kde gtk gnome"

After that, when I try a usermod, I get:
Code:

des-1000 root # usermod -G users,wheel,audio,tty louist
usermod: PAM authentication failed


I assume gnome emerged PAM for me, yet I didn't know it would affect my usermod.

Maybe someone knows how to solve this?
