Linux login problems (non-root)

[Anon]

Probably not the best of forums for this, but the people here some to know what they're talking about:

For no apparent reason, I can no longer log into Linux (Redhat 6.2). I have made no installation, or changes that I think could possibly affect this. I can STILL FTP, but I cannot login remotely or locally as a root or non-root user.

The passwords seem to be fine (login via ftp without trouble). I have also gone into linux single mode and changed the password (again, without trouble). I just cannot login. I get "Incorrect Login".

Here is a sample from /var/log/messages :

Oct 31 13:33:56 freedom login[890]: FAILED LOGIN SESSION FROM (null) FOR root, Error in service module
Oct 31 13:34:05 freedom login: FAILED LOGIN 1 FROM (null) FOR shining, Authentication failure
