Since the user can log in with a null password, it sounds like a password encryption issue. What does, % ls -l /usr/lib/libcrypt.* Return? It should be something like, lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 13 Jun 3 19:07 /usr/lib/libcrypt.a -> libdescrypt.a lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 14 Jun 3 19:07 /usr/lib/libcrypt.so -> libdescrypt.so lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 16 Jun 3 19:07 /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2 -> libdescrypt.so.2 -- Crist J.
