I always thought that /etc/security/ouser contains the backup (old) version
of /etc/security/user
The only difference between them is that ouser contains the previous entry
for root as SYSTEM = "compat" whereas the /etc/security/user has it as
SYSTEM = "files".

Yes, I can. Both via network and directly on console. It seems that only if
the network connection is down I have problems loging in to the console.
