Uff, ... all went well :oD
I've re-emerged shadow, logged out and logged in and even rebooted the system and (otherwise I wouldn't be able to send this post) all is living again. Thank you guys for the hints and for this system (:oD) Frank PS: Just a minor issue: Is there a way to use "normal" SysV booting on Gentoo? What I mean is the booting style with the [0-9][0-9]something in /etc/[init.d/]rc[0-9] what usuelly are links to /etc/init.d instead of this simpleinit (?) style booting? Xcuse me, I'm mostly working on AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, Dynix and Tru64, so the Gentoo boot style is an annoying one for me. .. I'm not saying that it is a bad one with this stating ;o) I started on Linux with Slackware. They use BSD style booting. THERE it was easy to replace this. How on Gentoo?
