I do not know but my guess is files in /etc/pam.d/* pam_deny.so seems
suspicious. Did you do something on them? Also, it looks like
/etc/security/* may be used to set the behaviour. (These are just my
guess.) Compare kdm and login for difference.
You may have changed these from menu on KDE.
I think you need to read documentation for PAM to be sure.
Read /usr/share/doc/libpam-doc/ after loading libpam-doc
