After an unclean shutdown and restart, I am getting a 'Login incorrect or refused on this terminal' for all users but root (immediately after a username is supplied). Removing and rebuilding pasword databases didn't help. Any ideas appreciated.
Have you tried logging in on any pseudo-terminal other than tty0? I get the same error on tty0 because of the default settings in /etc/ttys, which set tty0 as 'the console'.
