Right, I was using 2.6.16-rt29 and it's working with the pam 0.78. I'll
try the newest kernel.

Yeah well, the howto uses 2.6.16 as example kernel, as 2.6.16 was the
current stable kernel when I wrote it.
But hmm, Frieder still marked 2.6.16-rt29 as the stable rt-sources in
the overlay - not sure why exactly, maybe perceived level of risk -
anyways in case of PAM and the kernel, I personally recommend using
latest ~ masked pam and =rt-sources-2.6.20-r8 :)

well.. I was just following the directions - I haven't done a
realtime kernel on gentoo and am using/trying the proaudio overlay.

Perceived level of risk?
tom@SiRiUS ~ $ equery which pam
/home/tom/cvs/proaudio/trunk/overlays/proaudio/sys-libs/pam/pam-0.99.7.1-r1.ebuild
Though 0.78-r6 is marked as stable here, whereas 0.99 is marked as
~arch (testing/unstable). Gentoo stable likes keeping old stuff,
because of stability reasons I'd guess - like debian, or redhat, or
whatever other distro providing stable and testing branches.
But if you want the newer one, just emerge it. You just have to
unmask it.
Also no idea why you are using a 2.6.16 kernel - 2.6.20-rt8 is
superb, at least on my uniproc machine here.
