User Access Problem: Via Telnet or even Console

Problem Solved
With the use of truss we were able to isolate the problem to a corrupt /var/adm/lastlog file.
Removal of the file and its re-creation solved the problem.
THANKS for your suggestion and all who helped !!

utmpx(4) File Formats utmpx(4) NAME
utmpx, wtmpx - utmpx and wtmpx database entry formats SYNOPSIS
#include <utmpx.h> /var/adm/utmpx /var/adm/wtmpx DESCRIPTION
The utmpx and wtmpx files are extended database files that have superseded the obsolete utmp and wtmp database files. The utmpx database contains user access and accounting information for commands such as who(1), write(1), and login(1). The wtmpx database contains the history of user access and accounting information for the utmpx database. USAGE
Applications should not access these databases directly, but should use the functions described on the getutxent(3C) manual page to inter- act with the utmpx and wtmpx databases to ensure that they are maintained consistently. FILES
