Sorry, that's my fault.  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 rea=
d:

	return (EINVAL);

Change that to:

	return (0);

Then go to /usr/src/lib/libc and run:

	make NO_MAN=3Dyes all install

And everything should back to normal.

Cheers,
