That says it all, doesn't it?  Now, I have no idea what this means, 
but google for "none of the authentication protocols specified are 
supported" and you'll find plenty to read.

But here are some things to try: run etc-update first.  If that 
didn't help, then re-emerge pam with 'emerge --oneshot pam' and run 
etc-update again, and show us the output of 'emerge -pv pam'.  Also 
post the output of 'emerge --info' and the contents of /etc/hosts.

Another thing to try: go down to single-user mode, clean out /tmp 
and /var/tmp: make sure to remove every occurrence of .ICE* and 
similar files, also from your home dirs and from root's home dir.

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

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