I have been unable to login using gdm even though it is in my /etc/rc.conf:
UNICODE="no"
EDITOR="/bin/nano"
DISPLAYMANAGER="gdm"
XSESSION="Gnome"
Today I checked my system logs and I found these entries:
Date : July 22 15:32:42
Process : gdm[7072]

I have reemerged both pam and pam-login, neither of which has
regenerated the needed pam_console.so. Googleing gives me lots of
information about what the file does, but not how to get another one.
Can anybody give me any hints?
