Thank you Leonid, I will have to rebuild shadow. My display manager still relies on the older shadow prior to the soname bump that occurred a couple of months ago. I guess I could just use the kde4/kdm in the interim. So at least we know what is causing this problem. Any background on why files such as 'login' are changing packages? Just curious really. In the 2.21.2 -> 2.21.3 update to util-linux, it inherited the following: +util-linux /bin/login +util-linux /etc/pam.d/chfn +util-linux /etc/pam.d/chsh +util-linux /etc/pam.d/login +util-linux /usr/bin/chfn +util-linux /usr/bin/chsh +util-linux /usr/bin/newgrp +util-linux /usr/sbin/vigr +util-linux /usr/sbin/vipw Was the driver behind it just 'housekeeping' for lack of better words? - -- David C.
