Error Login Authentication Prob SCO 504
I have a problem on a SCO Unix504 box where no user with a setr password is allowed to login.
When you enter a username with-out a password and press enter you are allowed to login, when using a name with a password it skips the password entry line and gives the message Incorrect password.
This happens from console,telnet sessions and rlogin, the only way to login is from a different Machine with the same username and passwords using rlogin. strangely enough when accessing the machine with FTP it authenticated the username and password without any problems

Would appreciate any help as I have tried all possible solutions known to me

Regards

sulogin

sulogin(1M)						  System Administration Commands					       sulogin(1M)

NAME

       sulogin - access single-user mode

SYNOPSIS

       sulogin

DESCRIPTION

       The  sulogin  utility  is  automatically invoked by init when the system is first started. It prompts the user to type the root password to
       enter system maintenance mode (single-user mode) or to type  EOF (typically <CTRL-D>) for normal startup (multi-user mode). The user should
       never directly invoke sulogin.

       The  sulogin utility can prompt the user to enter the root password on a variable number of serial console devices, in addition to the tra-
       ditional console device. See consadm(1M) and msglog(7D) for a description of how to configure a serial device to  display  the  single-user
       login prompt.

FILES

       /etc/default/sulogin    Default value can be set for the following flag:

			       PASSREQ	       Determines if login requires a password. Default is PASSREQ=YES.

       /etc/default/login      Default value can be set for the following flag:

			       SLEEPTIME       If  present,  sets  the number of seconds to wait before login failure is printed to the screen and
					       another login attempt is allowed. Default is 4 seconds. Minimum is 0 seconds. Maximum is 5 seconds.

					       Both su(1M) and login(1) are affected by the value of SLEEPTIME.

ATTRIBUTES
