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. > > In short: too little info. > > http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html > > ok, i agree i am inexpirienced, but it looks a bit like an insult > to me, 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. > i did try to locate smth on google, [...] You didn't say. You didn't say all the things you had already tried and searched. How am I supposed to know? Benno -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
