I don't know about motd, but the rest looks like pam problem to me, if |
| 22 |
you're using pam, of course. Try 'euse -i pam' to see if it's enabled. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
If that's the case, first of all I'd suggest to check etc-update. |
| 25 |
Then look through /etc/pam.d, especially system-* files. There you can |
| 26 |
remove some of the required (for successfull authentication) modules, |
| 27 |
so their failure won't affect the process. |
