    Gentoo being a pain

    I'm following the installation guide along and...
    Code:
    ~ # passwd
    bash: passwd: command not found
    ~ # find / -iname "passwd"
    /etc/passwd
    /usr/share/baselayout/passwd
    /usr/portage/sys-apps/shadow/files/pam.d/passwd
    /usr/portage/sys-apps/shadow/files/pam.d-include/passwd
    /usr/portage/sys-libs/pwdb/files/passwd
    Can someone help me out? I assume I need to emerge a package. If so, what is the package name?

    EDIT: JThundley was the first to help me.

    Morphius helped me out on irc freenode.net #justlinux

    For some reason I need to "emerge shadow". This is a stage2 2005.1 gentoo tarball.
    (I can only assume it's a bug. I couldn't have uninstalled the package because I didn't even know how.)

    That must be a bug since that is normally emerged during the system build

    [15:11] <JT|work> how the hell is your passwd missing?
    [15:11] <JT|work> lemme see what it's a part of
    [15:12] <Sepero> I haven't uninstalled any packages.
    [15:12] <Sepero> I'm still trying to go through the friggin setup for heavens sake.
    [15:13] <JT|work> is it shadow?
    [15:13] <Sepero> Actually, I don't think I even know *how* to uninstall yet.
    [15:13] <JT|work> try remerging shadow for the hell of it
    [15:13] <Sepero> ok
    [15:13] <JT|work> maybe somebody haxxed joo boxxorz
    [15:13] <Morphius> Sepero: emerge -C foo will uninstall
    [15:13] <Sepero> "emerge shadow" right?
    [15:13] <Morphius> yup
    [15:14] <Morphius> or emerge --unmerge foo
    [15:14] <Sepero> ok, it's downloading now
    [15:15] <Sepero> I started with a stage 2 tarball and I don't remember it saying anything about getting shadow
    [15:15] <Morphius> you shouldn't have to
    [15:16] <Sepero> That's what I would think, too!
    [15:16] <JT|work> yeah, you shouldn't have to
    [15:16] <JT|work> but as far as I can tell and remember, the shadow package provides passwd
