Dear list,
Everybody kept telling me about /etc/securetty.
The problem was pegged by Anil (thank you!).
I had '@' in the passwd. Changing passwd to plain text made login on the console possible.
Thanks all,
Leon

Do you have special chars (like @,#) in your password?
If yes, it wont work. Change the password and try. If
your password length is more than 8 chars, enter first
8 chars only.
