This is actually caused by the util-linux-2.12a-pamstart.patch in the util-linux rpm. It seems to want to use 'remote' instead of 'login'. No idea why or how exactly that works. Making a copy of /etc/pam.d/login to /etc/pam.d/remote might work, though I honestly have no idea, I just recompiled it with that patch disabled. > There is something wrong with the telnet server.
