Seems like pam_console modules is broken. I'm not able to make it compile both as a standalone ebuild i'm trying to write and as the complete pam with +pam_console flag.
Anyway I was wondering what pam_console is used for, at the end. It's a way to set up permissions when someone logins at a console. I would never use something like that on a remote server, as anyone which could have a local login can do anything� It also doesn't make sense on a recent user system configured properly, as devfs/udev would take care of permissions, and users needs only to set the group correctly (simpler than using pam_console anyway). Seems to me like a workaround for old old (too old!) systems, which is no more needed at least for us. I know this is there also for compatibility, but this makes sys-libs/pam ebuild very bloated as for now, and still I don't know a reason to have it there.
