Dale: Thanks for the input, I have successfully resolved the pam-login issue, I have to adjusted all the /etc/pam.d entry to remove the pam_stack entry and update them with "<type> include system-auth".
I just removed the dhcpcd-2.0.0 since it is not part of the system tree anymore. I am still working on the python and modutils. As far as updates I just inherited this server at work so, I don't really know when it was last updated. Thanks for the great information and input.

However, I'm not sure about that pam-login one. If you do unmerge that one, do NOT logout until you have it updated. I would recommend switching to another console and logging in to make sure it works too. > [ebuild U ] dev-libs/expat-2.0.1 [1.95.6-r1] Oh no, is that the one I think it is. You may want to search the forums for the expat update. Let me know if you can't find it. Has it been a while since you updated? Maybe someone else will see something else and chime in.
