While I was waiting I went back to the page and
decided I should probably emerge pam_chroot.
pam_userdb didn't seem to involve me so I left it
alone. Other than that I couldn't see what else
applied to my case except for the suggestion that
some, unamed, file should be edited. I notice that
since I apparently overleapt the main pam hurdle
/etc/pam.d has a new system-auth file in it. Must be
on the right track cause it didn't complain about
pam-0.99 when pam_chroot was emerged. Then I made
detour and updated a bunch of /etc files that had
popped up after having started the massive update. I
must have missed modprobe cause when I booted again a
boot warning flashed by, "warning modprobe.conf not
generated". Then it got to login where I was again not
allowed access. Does that have something to do with
modprobe.conf? PAM? Both?

As for modprobe, I just chrooted again and ran
update-modules. I forgot to add -v on the first pass,
so I did it again with -v and it's telling me
*Skipping /etc/modules.conf generation(prerequisites
not satisfied
*Skipping /etc/modprobe.conf generation (file is newer
than dependencies)
* The dir '/lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r5/modules.dep'
does not exist, skipping call to depmod
So this is wierd: according to ls -l
/etc/modprobe.conf was just written.
Or is it because the PC is in a chrooted environment
and uses a different set of modules?
