Actually I think this is a pam.conf issue. You probably built 3.3.6 with
PAM support? This happened to me as soon as 3.3.6 came out.
try copying pam.conf from whereveryoubuildworld/etc to /etc and see if
that fixes it.
I think mergemaster would take care of this too, I dunno last time I used
it it did more harm than good.
