"cant login"? Are you getting a error message? If you give more detail
maybe we can help more.

Did you check the various log files? Run 'sleep 60; date', when you
see the time displayed, try to log in on console, then do an 'ls -lrt'
in /var/log and examine the bottom end of all files with timestamps
newer than the 'date' command showed. Any clues there? (The point of
the 'sleep 60' is to make it as easy as possible to isolate the log
entries caused by the login attempt from all the other junk that gets
written to the logs.)
