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 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.
