[KLUG Members] Disabled logins

[Matt Scott]

Did you modfiy something in /etc/security?  There is a file called
access.conf in there (On Red Hat 7.1 anyway.....I forgot which distro you
said you were running).  Based on the comments in that file it appears
that you can limit certain types of logins to specific users and groups.
I've never messed with it myself but at first glance it seems like it
could be causing your problem.  Good luck!
