I have introduced a bug into libc which has caused PAM breakage. Try to go single user, and mount /usr, / as read-write, edit src/lib/libc/gen/ttyname.c, and change line 87 of it, which should read: return (EINVAL); Change that to: return (0); Then go to /usr/src/lib/libc and run: make NO_MAN=yes all install And everything should back to normal.
