Thanks for the hint. I've unmerged shadow AND pam just now. emerge failed on glibc, saying the new version is nplt-only (I don't get the picture here ... I use nplt on my system). Well restarting emerge (no resume, just a new emerge -u world, which says it will rebuild 48 further packages) continues. Let's see if (and whwere) it fails and if everything is working afterwards.
So I'll remerge shadow after this if all goes well.
