[ale] Console Craziness

[Martin Modahl]

Late last night I was forced to reboot a DNS server running Linux 2.2.12
remotely. I get into the office this morning and tried to hook a keyboard 
up to it and, of course, the keyboard didn't function. I rebooted the box
again with a monitor and keyboard attached to it so I could do some
console work. Now from the console whatever login/password combination I
try gives me a Login Incorrect error, the strange part is that I can still 
ssh in using the same logins. I've tried everything. Caps Locks, Num 
Locks, I've typed all the password letters into the Login: prompt to make 
sure that the letters on the keyboard work. What could it possibly be?
