On the next occurrence, with the local user logged in and before reboot, immediately try to trace an appropriate event log for the previously failed log in attempt in the Event Viewer and see if you can get more details. If you're lucky you might find a useful reason code.

rexecd

REXECD(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						 REXECD(8)

NAME

     rexecd -- remote execution server

SYNOPSIS

     rexecd

DESCRIPTION

     rexecd is the server for the rexec(3) routine.  The server provides remote execution facilities with authentication based on user names and
     passwords.

     rexecd listens for service requests at the port indicated in the ``exec'' service specification; see services(5).	When a service request is
     received the following protocol is initiated:

     1.   The server reads characters from the socket up to a NUL ('') byte.	The resultant string is interpreted as an ASCII number, base 10.

     2.   If the number received in step 1 is non-zero, it is interpreted as the port number of a secondary stream to be used for the stderr.  A
	  second connection is then created to the specified port on the client's machine.

     3.   A NUL terminated user name of at most 16 characters is retrieved on the initial socket.

     4.   A NUL terminated, unencrypted password of at most 16 characters is retrieved on the initial socket.

     5.   A NUL terminated command to be passed to a shell is retrieved on the initial socket.	The length of the command is limited by the upper
	  bound on the size of the system's argument list.

     6.   rexecd then validates the user as is done at login time and, if the authentication was successful, changes to the user's home directory,
	  and establishes the user and group protections of the user.  If any of these steps fail the connection is aborted with a diagnostic mes-
	  sage returned.

     7.   A NUL byte is returned on the initial socket and the command line is passed to the normal login shell of the user.  The shell inherits
	  the network connections established by rexecd.

DIAGNOSTICS

     Except for the last one listed below, all diagnostic messages are returned on the initial socket, after which any network connections are
     closed.  An error is indicated by a leading byte with a value of 1 (0 is returned in step 7 above upon successful completion of all the steps
     prior to the command execution).

     username too long
	     The name is longer than 16 characters.

     password too long
	     The password is longer than 16 characters.

     command too long
	     The command line passed exceeds the size of the argument list (as configured into the system).

     Login incorrect.
	     No password file entry for the user name existed.

     Password incorrect.
	     The wrong password was supplied.

     No remote directory.
	     The chdir(2) to the home directory failed.

     Try again.
	     A fork(2) by the server failed.

     <shellname>: ...
	     The user's login shell could not be started.  This message is returned on the connection associated with the stderr, and is not pre-
	     ceded by a flag byte.

SEE ALSO

     rexec(3)

HISTORY

     The rexecd command appeared in 4.2BSD.

BUGS

     Indicating ``Login incorrect'' as opposed to ``Password incorrect'' is a security breach which allows people to probe a system for users with
     null passwords.

     A facility to allow all data and password exchanges to be encrypted should be present.

SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS

     As the passwords exchanged by the client and rexecd are not encrypted, it is strongly recommended that this service is not enabled.
