11 That says it all, doesn't it? Now, I have no idea what this means,
12 but google for "none of the authentication protocols specified are
13 supported" and you'll find plenty to read.
14
15 But here are some things to try: run etc-update first. If that
16 didn't help, then re-emerge pam with 'emerge --oneshot pam' and run
17 etc-update again, and show us the output of 'emerge -pv pam'. Also
18 post the output of 'emerge --info' and the contents of /etc/hosts.
19
20 Another thing to try: go down to single-user mode, clean out /tmp
21 and /var/tmp: make sure to remove every occurrence of .ICE* and
22 similar files, also from your home dirs and from root's home dir.

30 Eh? Why would I want to insult you? I'm trying to help you, even
31 though you are doing almost everything wrong: uninformative subject
32 line, a rambling vague message, no actual error messages... And
33 no, also now I am not trying to insult you, just telling you how
34 things are.

38 You didn't say. You didn't say all the things you had already tried
39 and searched. How am I supposed to know?
