7 If you have pam on your system, then it broken
8 '/etc/pam.d/system-local-login' might be the cause, as well as
9 user-specific files there.
10 And if that's not the case, try commenting out pam modules like
11 mod_access, which can add additional access restrictions.

13 Also, you can probably tell if pam is the cause of a problem by
14 commenting out all the required modules from whole authentication chain
15 (usually, commenting out everything in system-auth will do) - it should
16 allow any access w/o password, and it's probably not pam if it
17 doesn't... can't really think what else it might be, though.
