Showing "permission denied" when trying to login in - Montavista Linux
Hello friends,
I have scratched my system and after that when I am trying to access the console via root login it's failing with an error message of "permission denied". I am able to access the other login, I am having only problem with root and some other user login. I am using an telnet session for this connection.
I strongly believe that this is something related to the file permission/group/ownership related issue ?? If any of you are expert in this area please do help me to find a solution. Your help will be appreciated.
Do you guys think telnet is disabled for some specific users, I have checked my /etc/passwd file and I haven't seen any nologin entry there
Thanks in advance

nologin
NOLOGIN(5) BSD File Formats Manual NOLOGIN(5)
NAME
nologin -- disallow logins
DESCRIPTION
Programs such as login(1) disallow logins if the nologin file exists. The programs display the contents of nologin to the user if possible
and interrupt the login sequence. This makes it simple to temporarily prevent incoming logins systemwide.
To disable logins on a per-account basis, investigate nologin(8).
SECURITY
The nologin file is ignored for user root by default.
IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
The nologin feature is implemented through login.conf(5), which allows to change the pathname of the file and to extend the list of users
exempt from temporary login restriction.
PAM-aware programs can be selectively configured to respect nologin using the pam_nologin(8) module via pam.conf(5).
The nologin file will be removed at system boot if it resides in /var/run and cleanvar_enable is set to ``YES'' in rc.conf(5), which is
default. Therefore system reboot can effectively re-enable logins.
FILES
/var/run/nologin default location of nologin
