Just built a system and all was going great, first time I have tried

a login, I enter the user or root, but it never prompts to enter a
password.
Then just times out and eventually shows the login again.
OK, so what happened is that you un-emerged pam-login (to remove the
block for the new version of shadow), but didn't emerge the new
version of shadow (or didn't have the pam USE flag set for shadow).
What you'll need to do is to boot the LiveCD again, mount your hard
drive, chroot, env-update, source /etc/profile, and emerge the latest
version of shadow, ensuring that the pam USE flag is set.
If one of my assumptions above is wrong, let me know, and we'll get
the problem figured out. :)

Thanks James,
Pam and Shadow did show installed. Pam also showing in the USE flag.
Isn't that one a default one?
Anyway, added it manually as well to make.conf.
Even though Shadow was in place, based on your message, I removed and
added shadow again and am now able to log in.
Still not sure what happened, but it is working.
Thanks again,
Sean
